Barolo (Piedmont)

Nebbiolo

Red Wine

Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed by aromas of raspberry, rose, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, cinnamon, coffee, rhubarb, cocoa and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. Barolo Margheria ages for 30 months in cask followed by at least 12 months of aging in bottle.
