Description

Massolino's Barolo Margheria comes from a 1.5-hectare vineyard plot located 340 meters above sea level and facing south. The Massolino family is rightfully among the best interpreters of this Cru, which is a warm and expressive Barolo, characterized, on the nose, by peculiar mineral and iron notes and, on the palate, by an endless saline trail. This wine stays on the skins for about 20 days, whereas it ages 30 months in big Slavonian oak barrels and 18 months in the bottle.
