Tasting Notes

From the great Margheria Cru, this Barolo is built to last. Slighter fuller intensity, structure and colour come from the clay soils, with this vineyard's olive and umami undercurrent deepening the Nebbiolo grape's floral nature so beautifully. Impressive now it is still only a glimpse at what it will be, so keep this in cellar at least a little while. Beautiful!

Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"From the heart of Serralunga d’Alba, with all its complexity. Intense aromas, black fruits, licorice and spices in the typical Serralunga style. Energetic. The tannins frame the structure giving density and deepness to the wine. Conclusion with a persistent sapidity. Mineral, earthy, salty. Impressive."

Reviews for the 2018 vintage below…

95/100 Winescritic.com (2018 Vintage)
"Iconic in feminine beauty, it alternates notes of lavender, hibiscus, calendula, dehydrated cherries, pomegranate and lime blossom. Medium-full body, silky tannins of commendable beauty that will need time to relax in all their energy and a classic and dynamic finish that from the centre of the palate onwards seeks a really important extension. Better from 2023."

94/100 Monica Larner, Robertparker.com (2018 Vintage)
"The 2018 Barolo Margheria opens to a wide range of savoury 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. Drink 2024 – 2044."

93/100 Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter (2018 Vintage)
"Margheria is the first MGA to be harvested at the Scavino estate. Chalk and red currants dominate the nose, enhanced by framboise sauvage and cinnamon, with camphor-like balsamic depth. The attack is full of sucrosity and silky tannins – very well extracted and handled but mostly a sign of careful canopy management in the vineyard in this complicated vintage. The tannins are dusty but ripe, the palate fiercely Nebbiolo in its muscularity with an anise, cherry kernel and watermelon finish sustained by moderate acidity. Possibly the alcohol here is a bit less integrated than other examples. Drink 2022 – 2035."
