Azelia di Luigi Scavino Margheria, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019

"WE ARE A HISTORICAL AND SMALL FAMILY-RUN WINERY FOUNDED IN 1920 IN CASTIGLIONE FALLETTO, IN THE HEART OF THE LANGA OF BAROLO, ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY WINE REGIONS IN THE WORLD."

From the heart of Serralunga d’Alba, with all its complexity. Intense aromas, black fruits, licorice and spices in the typical Serralunga style.Energetic.
The tannins frame the structure giving density and deepness to the wine. Conclusion with a persistent sapidity.

Mineral, earthy, salty. Impressive.

"Azelia makes three wines with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, including San Rocco, Cerretta and this wine. There is also a Riserva from Bricco Voghera. The 2019 Barolo Margheria comes from a southwest facing slope opposite the Perno Vineyard. The site has very poor soils with white clay, and the vines (aged 65 years old on average) are forced to push their roots very deep as a result. This wine has a tight and very firm personality with dark fruit, rusty nail, dusty mineral and tight structure. Those rusty mineral aromas give it away as Serralunga d'Alba. This is an age-worthy wine." Wine Advocate 95+
