Decanter, January 2022


San Rocco typically produces Barolo with a darker character compared to the other MGAs of Serralunga. Here, black cherry and blackberry are joined by mint and chocolate, with an intense menthol depth. The attack is dense and full, followed by austere tannins, refreshing acidity, plenty of mid-palate weight and a thick finish. Its sternness dominates the aftertaste, which seems to be less expressive than expected. There's good potential for ageing here.

James Suckling, June 2022


There’s a decent bead of red-berry fruit and some nut and citrus character. Medium-bodied palate with rather light tannin this year. It may expand with time.

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.

Wine Advocate, August 2022


The Azelia 2018 Barolo Cerretta is a bold and powerful expression with dark fruit, grilled herb and ferrous notes of rusty iron that stand out strong in this hot vintage. The wine tastes firm and almost salty on the palate with long, polished tannins. This bottle is a shiny gem in this estate portfolio.

About AZELIA

AZELIA

If Azelia's Barolos needed to be described in a single word, that word would be 'elegant'. The wines have always been a pure expression of nebbiolo, silky textured and harmonious, never over extracted or excessively oaky. If their intrinsic balance makes them approachable when they are young, it also makes them supremely age-worthy. Azelia is unquestionably one of Langhe's best value producers.
