The 2015 Barolo from Margherita Otto in magnum, a format that rewards both the patient cellar and the celebratory table. Founded in 2015 by American Alan Manley, who has worked alongside Maria Teresa Mascarello at Bartolo Mascarello since 2011, this young Monforte-based estate follows the old assemblaggio method: fruit from holdings near Ginestra (Monforte), Pernanno (Castiglione Falletto), and additional Barolo sites is co-fermented into a single Barolo, then aged 32-34 months in traditional botti. The 2015 vintage was warm and classical, producing approachable yet structured Barolos. In 1.5L format, this 2015 has aged more slowly than its 750ml siblings and is drinking with vigor a decade on, with another fifteen-plus years of potential ahead.

Antonio Galloni

91 points

"The 2015 Barolo is a very pretty, ethereal wine. Orange peel, mint, dried red cherry, cedar and sweet tobacco are all laced throughout this gracious, mid-weight Barolo. The tannins are a bit gritty at this stage, but it is a very strong first commercial release." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

92 points

"The Margherita Otto 2015 Barolo shows a sweet and soft approach with ripe cherry, plum, spice and savory leather. This is a broad-shouldered Barolo with dark concentration and a rather heavy, fully textured personality. The wine is richer and more endowed than your standard Barolo, but that extra weight and density is very much part of the package of the warm 2015 vintage." —Monica Larner

Jancis Robinson

"Lustrous mid ruby. Captivating nose that has just started to open up to cherry fruit with hints of exotic spice, garden herbs and Campari. Supple cherry fruit that becomes even fresher on the finish. Attractive chewy tannins complement the whole. Truly elegant for this warm vintage."

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Built for a celebratory table that demands a magnum: brasato al Barolo, truffle-shaved tajarin, roasted goose or guinea hen, prime rib, and a final wedge of aged Castelmagno. Decant well in advance.

Tasting Profile

Rose petal, ripe red cherry, dried orange peel, sweet tobacco, and a balsamic-savory edge. Warm 2015 fruit framed by fine tannins; magnum freshness, long mineral finish.
