Tasting notes
The 2018 Barolo Margheria opens to a wide range of savory aromas with dark fruit, pressed rose, crushed stone and rusty nail. Those rusty or ferrous notes are typical of Nebbiolo wines from Serralunga d'Alba. The wine is tight and firm in texture with a polished and very linear style.

Serralunga d'Alba. Just mid ruby. Minerally and earthy rather than fruity and with hints of raw meat. Fine, clayey and layered tannins woven into the supple, generous fruit. Very long and juicy and hugely attractive with proper long, complex tannins. (WS)
The 2018 Barolo Margheria has just enough energy and nuance to be mildly interesting. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, sage and bright red-toned fruit all grace this translucent, nuanced Barolo. Vibrant saline notes ring out on the finish. The Margheria is promising, for the year.
