Product Notes

Massolino Barolo 'Margheria' is a prestigious Italian wine hailing from the heart of the Piemonte region. In a blend of robust depth and elegant subtlety, it features aromatic complexity, with layered scents of ripe red fruits, delicate flowers, vanilla, and ground spice. These transition into a gustatory symphony of rich cherry notes, heady truffles, and subtly smoky undertones. Its velvety texture, harmoniously balanced tannins, and lengthy finish, make it a remarkable testament to the craftsmanship of Massolino winery. Ideal for special occasions, it pairs majestically with complex dishes like risotto and venison. Truly, a captivating journey for the discerning palate.

Tasting Notes

This Barolo is traditional in style yet fresh, structured and accessible. The grapes come from different subzones in Serralunga, resulting in a wine with a broad and variable spectrum of aromas, ranging from tempting spicy notes to sweet, more floral and fruity notes. Robust tannins and acidity are balanced by the fragrant fruit character of the Nebbiolo.
