Note di degustazione
Massolino's 2004 Barolo Margheria offers considerable energy and intensity, with powerful tannins enshrouding a potent core of fruit. With time in the glass, hints of dark blue/purplish fruit, licorice, mint, violets, mocha and new leather gradually open up, but the Margheria retains a sense of classic Serralunga austerity. That said, the 2004 has developed nicely in bottle and appears to have a bright future. Readers might want to give the 2004 another few years in bottle, as it is still quite youthful and not quite as expressive as it was when it was younger. (AG) 94+

A little finer and more open than the 2007 version of this wine, with spicy red and dark fruit a little sweet and perfumed even. Lots of ripe and powdery tannin. Mineral finish. Very young and yet fluid. (WS)
The 2004 Barolo Margheria presents an exquisitely graceful expression of Serralunga terroir as it unfolds on the palate with layers of ripe red cherries, plums, new leather, iron, spices and menthol. It is a big, strapping Barolo, yet it also offers compelling inner sweetness, not to mention stunning overall balance. Tasted blind, it fared exceptionally well among some of the region's more famous wines.

Tasted blind, it fared exceptionally well among some of the region's more famous wines. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino have a top-flight set of wines with their 2004 Barolos. The wines are fermented in cement, then undergo malolactic fermentation in a combination of cement and steel prior to being racked into large Slavonian oak casks for roughly two and half years. The Parafada is the only Barolo that sees French oak.
