Attractive sliced strawberries with hints of tar and fragrant rose-like notes make for a compelling young Barolo. The supple palate has a lithe and succulent core with focused energetic tannins that carry fresh sweet cherries. Long taut finish. Try from 2023.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2015 Barolo Margheria shows the textural breadth of Serralunga in its compelling interplay of succulent layered fruit and bright soil-driven tones with mineral inflections that add layers of complexity. Sage tobacco cedar rose petal menthol anise and dried flowers fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. All the elements are nicely balanced. In
