    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Blackberries and salts and dried herbs dominate the profile of the Margheria 2021, put together with great freshness and tight tannins, in a vintage that really suits the natural expressoin of the site. A really good Margheria, with the requisite power and linearity to age well – the best in recent years. The different plots within Margheria are quite spread out, which creates a difference in altitude of 100m depending on where you are. Azelia’s vines come from a prime south and southwest facing 55-year-old plot in the Serralunga d'Alba commune planted on white clay and limestone soils. They sit alongside those used for Gaja’s Sperss. Aged in the traditional way, for 28 months in large Slavonian oak botti.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2021 Barolo Margheria is dense, powerful and rather somber. Black fruit, lavender, espresso and gravel add to an impression of gravitas. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2021 is an infant. Muscular tannins make themselves known on the finish. This feels a bit raw and not totally put together yet.
