Description

The Massolino Barolo 2020 Margheria is a notable wine from the Massolino winery, which is based in the heart of the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. This Barolo comes from the Margheria vineyard, which is known for its excellent exposure and unique terroir, contributing to the wine's distinct character.

Tasting Notes:
the 2020 vintage is a structured wine with aromas of red fruit, rose scents, and hints of spices. Barolo wines, especially from the Margheria cru, often have good acidity, fine tannins, and a long aging potential. The 2020 vintage is quite youthful, but it shows great promise for aging, with the tannins likely to soften and develop more complexity over time.

Serving & Food Pairing:
It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C. An important wine, it encapsulates all the history of the Barolo land and fully expresses its talents when served with rich dishes, such as roast red meats or game stew. It is also excellent with medium-mature and mature cheeses.

Massolino is a historic family-run winery in Barolo, Piedmont, founded in 1896. Known for producing high-quality Barolo wines, it focuses on traditional winemaking methods and vineyards in prestigious Barolo crus like Margheria and Serralunga d'Alba. The winery is renowned for its elegance, structure, and long aging potential of its Nebbiolo-based wines.
