The Margheria vineyard is located in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba, although the winery is in Castiglione Falletto. Margheria’s vines are 65 years old. The wine has red cherry aromas, and is quite perfumed, very precise and pure. It shows good acidity, a trademark of Barolos. This Azelia Margheria is fairly light-bodied, elegant and clean, typical of the Azelia style. Its tannins are not totally ripe, but there is a purity of fruit with a licorice quality. Limited production. This is a Barolo to drink soon, within 7 to 10 years.
