Deep garnet red. The bouquet is ethereal, featuring spicy, tobacco, and brushwood notes; there are also important mineral notes. Classic and nicely harmonious wine, tannic when young and with considerable aging potential, making it an unmistakable "Nebbiolo of Serralunga". An important wine, it encapsulates all the history of our land and fully expresses its talents when served with rich dishes, such as roast red meats or game stew. It is also excellent with medium-mature and mature cheeses.

Wild berry, cedar, scorched earth and camphor form the nose along with spicy accents. Tightly wound and firmly structured, the savory palate also shows finesse, offering dried cherry, blood orange, licorice and tobacco framed in firm, refined tannins. Drink 2025-2032.

Taut and linear, this Barolo walks the line between red berry fruits and savory, herbal elements. Underlining it all is a backbone of iron and dense, fine-grained tannins. Put it all together and you have a nascent red with terrific potential. Best from 2025 through 2042. 660 cases made.

The 2017 Barolo Margheria is a compelling, multi-faceted Barolo loaded with personality. Sage, mint, lavender, spice, iron and red/purplish berry fruit grace this firm, classically built Barolo. This translucent, taut Barolo has so much to offer, but it also needs time to soften. Readers will find a terrific example of Margheria.

More subdued aromatically speaking, the Massolino 2017 Barolo Margheria is timid on first nose and takes longer to open. I coaxed the wine in my glass for a while before getting a fuller picture of red and purple fruits, grilled herb, limestone and a spicy hint of white peppercorn. I remember the cooler 2016 vintage as beautifully exuberant and expressive overall, whereas this 2017 edition has a quieter personality.

From an average of 35-year-old vines in Serralunga d'Alba, the 2017 Barolo Margheria is fragrant with anise, roses, and dried cranberry. The structure is forward, with angular tannins and tangy fruit, inclusing red plum skin, dried orange peel, and turned earth. A bit tightly wound in its youthful state, both aromatically and structurally, hold for 3-5 years and drink 2024-2042.
