The Margheria vineyard sits at 340 meters above sea level in Serralunga d'Alba, where the Massolino family has been crafting Barolo for generations on their intimate 15-hectare estate. This south-facing, 1.5-hectare plot represents one of the more elegant expressions in their portfolio, capturing the refined character that can distinguish some of Serralunga's higher-elevation sites.

Serralunga d'Alba occupies a unique position in Barolo's landscape, known for producing wines that often balance the region's characteristic power with finesse. The Massolino family's commitment to preserving the Nebbiolo grape's characteristics shines through in this single-vineyard expression, where their winemaking methods allow the terroir to speak clearly.

This 2020 vintage showcases the family's philosophy of letting their land express itself, resulting in a Barolo that embodies both the character of its elevated vineyard site and the distinctive personality that has made Massolino a respected name among Piedmont's producers.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"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

Robert Parker

RP 95
"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."

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"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.""

Wine Enthusiast

"This Margheria Barolo is a stunning expression of elegance, with captivating high-toned fruit and delicate hints of strawberry tops. The palate is refined and graceful, with fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity that enhance the pure, precise flavors. A true embodiment of finesse, this wine is a standout example of the cru's potential." -Jeff Porter

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 95
"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
