{"product_id":"margherita-otto-barolo-2017","title":"Margherita Otto, Barolo, 2017","description":"In what Alan Manley calls the second-hottest vintage after 2003, and a very difficult one, the 2017 is the Barolo where he stopped making all his vineyards keep the same schedule. His Monforte parcel ripened about three weeks after the others, so he fermented it on its own and only brought the lots together after fermentation for the long maceration. He has done it that way ever since. Beyond that, this is the house's faithful assemblaggio, the old Bartolo Mascarello approach of blending several sites into a single Barolo. Here those sites are in Monforte d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba (the commune of Barolo itself only joined the blend in 2018). Manley is an American who moved to the Langhe for good in 2011. He founded Margherita Otto in 2015 and named it for his grandparents, and 2017 was the first vintage made and aged entirely in his new cellar under his home in Monforte. He's one of very few people still making Barolo this way, and this vintage shows how a young grower handled a hard year. Only 3,534 bottles in 750ml were made, released in March 2021.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524956033081,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-57-6","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Margherita-Otto-Barolo-2017-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_79fd03d7.jpg?v=1790154231","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/margherita-otto-barolo-2017","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
