Massolino Barolo Margheria 2019 750ml
Massolino Barolo Margheria 2019 is an exceptional single-vineyard Barolo crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grown in the renowned Margheria cru of Serralunga d'Alba. Produced by the historic Massolino estate, established in 1896, this prestigious wine reflects the power, elegance, and remarkable ageing potential that have made Serralunga d'Alba one of Barolo's most revered villages. Margheria is celebrated for producing wines that combine aromatic finesse with firm structure, offering a distinctive expression of Nebbiolo rooted in calcareous marl soils and traditional Barolo craftsmanship.
The outstanding 2019 vintage showcases exceptional balance, concentration, and precision. Vinified using traditional fermentation with extended maceration before ageing for approximately 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine develops remarkable complexity while preserving the purity of its fruit and terroir. Rich layers of red berries, floral aromas, savoury herbs, and mineral nuances unfold across a beautifully structured palate, making this an outstanding Barolo for both immediate enjoyment with decanting and long-term cellaring.
