With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2011 Barolo Margheria benefits from luminous western and southern exposures. The heavy, dense soils of the Margheria vineyard have helped to shape an opulent expression of Nebbiolo that boasts dark color and concentration. Sweet aromas of dried blackberry and cherry lift from the glass, followed by exotic spice, balsam herb and toasted espresso bean. This a Barolo with very broad shoulders that will evolve slowly over the next decade.

Bright, with cherry and strawberry flavors, this red is lacy and elegant for the appellation, backed by sufficient tannins. Accents of licorice, spice and tobacco complete the long finish. Best from 2019 through 2035. 516 cases made, 125 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
