Barolo, Margheria, 2019

Tasting Note:

A livewire Barolo, compact, plummy fruits, with nervy, herbal, salty, iodine-rich pixellated dark and red berries, all cleaned up by a surge of electrifying freshness and sinewy tannins. A mineral Barolo of spine and nerve. From a prime south and southwest facing 55-year-old plot in the Serralunga d'Alba commune planted on white clay and limestone soils. Azelia’s vines sit alongside those used for Gaja’s Sperss. Aged in the traditional way, for 28 months in large Slavonian oak botti.
