Barolo Margheria 2021
- 94 points -
The 2021 Barolo Margheria, which has a deeper pigment and saturated brick red color, offers more concentration and resinous qualities in the glass. It reveals notes of charred rosemary, dark cherries, fresh mint, violets, and dark stones. The palate is highly pleasurable and pure, with a medium to full-bodied feel, lovely purity of ripe cherry fruit, sweet tannins, refreshing acidity, and an elegant tapering finish. A very appealing selection, it’s showing beautifully now yet has a good deal of life and room to improve with the coming 15 or more years.
