Massolino Barolo Margheria 2007

Barolo DOCG Margheria draws much of its character from calcareous soil, with a slightly higher percentage of sand than in other sub-zones. Made for the first time in 1985, it has great ageing potential, like the great Barolo wines of Serralunga.

Classic and nicely harmonious wine, tannic when young and with considerable ageing potential, making it an unmistakable “Nebbiolo of Serralunga”. It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C. An important wine, it encapsulates all the history of the 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.

Aged up to 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, then a year in bottle before release.

Food Pairings: Braised beef cheek, truffle tajarin, aged Parmigiano, wild boar, lamb osso buco
