    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 2015 Barolo Margheria shows the textural breadth of Serralunga in its compelling interplay of succulent, layered fruit and bright, soil-driven tones, with mineral inflections that add layers of complexity. Sage, tobacco, cedar, rose petal, menthol, anise and dried flowers fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. All the elements are nicely balanced. In 2015 the Margheria is all class.
