## Summary

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".

## Food pairings

Pairs with rich dishes such as roast red meats or game stew, and medium-mature to mature cheeses.
