Margherita Otto is the cult Barolo project of Alan Manley, an American who moved to Piedmont and spent years working at the right hand of Maria Teresa Mascarello in the cellar of Bartolo Mascarello. In 2015 he launched his own estate, named for his grandparents, and he makes Barolo in the unmistakable Mascarello mold: a single, harmonious blend assembled in a continuous fermentation across tiny, hand-picked parcels — including a half-hectare bordering Ginestra in Monforte and a steep slope in Castiglione Falletto's Pernanno. The 2015 was Alan's debut vintage. Warm, classical, and generous, it shows everything Mascarello taught him about blending vineyards into something greater than any single cru.

Antonio Galloni

"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

Tajarin with sage butter, brasato al Barolo, vitello tonnato, or a long-cooked osso buco with gremolata. Truffles in any form welcome. A wheel of aged Castelmagno or Bra Duro at the end of the meal is the right way to send this wine off.

Tasting Profile

Plush and harmonious, with macerated cherry, dried rose, sweet tobacco, leather, and a warming spice through the finish. Generous warm-vintage fruit framed by classical, fine-grained tannin. Drinking beautifully now.
