"The 2020 Barolo Margheria is a very pretty wine that shows the gentler side of the year. Dried herbs, menthol, incense, new leather and licorice all take shape in the glass. The 2020 is a soft, uncharacteristically open-knit Margheria that will drink well with only minimal cellaring." -Antonio Galloni

"With fruit from the mighty village of Serralunga d'Alba, the Massolino 2020 Barolo Margheria (with 7,400 bottles made) is a classic expression. You get all those pretty Serralunga d'Alba elements with dark fruit, ferrous earth, orange peel and blue flower. I find this warm vintage to be especially fine-textured and elegant. There is a note of sweet cherry on the close. This bottle needs to flesh out with more cellar time." -Monica Larner

"Beautiful shiny medium ruby red colour. Firm, serious, mineral bouquet, cherry with notes of oatmeal and iodine. Multi-layered. Juicy, compact cherry with spectacular, crunchy tannins. Great, tactile fruit finish and fantastically balanced."

"This ripe red wine is characterised by aromas of cherry, raspberry, plum and eucalyptus, with a hint of liquorice and iron. It firms up in the mid-palate, leaving a compact but complex finish that reflects the fruity and spicy notes.""

A true embodiment of finesse, this wine is a standout example of the cru's potential." -Jeff Porter

"Aromas of ripe wild berry, dark spice, camphor and blue flower form the alluring nose on the 2020 Margheria from Massolino. Smooth and concentrated, the delicious palate offers ripe raspberry, Morello cherry and star anise alongside tightly woven, polished tannins. Drink 2028-2035." -Kerin O’Keefe
