Red
Margheria
By Massolino - Vigna Rionda, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
First made in 1985, Margheria draws its character from calcareous, sandier soil than the estate's other Serralunga crus.
Tasting notes
Deep garnet red. Ethereal bouquet with spice, tobacco and brushwood, plus mineral notes. Classic and harmonious on the palate, tannic when young, an unmistakable "Nebbiolo of Serralunga".
Pairs well with
Pairs with rich dishes such as roast red meats or game stew, and medium-mature to mature cheeses.
