    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Azelia, Barolo, Margheria, 2007

    Lush, ripe, berry fruit flavours infused with notes of cinnamon and dark chocolate, dense, smooth but vibrant. Heavily spiced notes of liquorice with lifting touches of fresh cut flower. Multi-layered and very well balanced, this is potentially the best Margheria Azelia have made. A single vineyard Cru in the Serralunga commune that used to go into the regular Barolo, but which Azelia started bottling up separately from the 2003 vintage. Aged like the normal Barolo, in pre-used large Slavonian oak botti and smaller barriques. The vines are now 40 years old.

    The 2013 Barolo Margheria shows its typically high-toned, aromatic profile. Scents of lavender, sage, mint, leather and earthiness meld into a core of dark stone fruits. Veins of bright acidity and salinity give the flavors an extra kick of brightness on the finish. The relatively high-altitude of this site and the limestone-rich soils yield a brilliant, salivating Barolo. The Margheria was aged in cask.
