The 1990 Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Margheria comes from a strict-traditional Serralunga d'Alba estate, with Margheria being synonymous with elegance and minerality. First produced in 1985, this wine is known for its considerable aging potential. While Massolino briefly experimented with a more modern style from their Parafada vineyard in 1990, the estate ultimately returned to its traditional roots, a testament to their commitment to classic Barolo expression. This Barolo displays a deep garnet red color. The bouquet is ethereal, featuring prominent notes of spices, tobacco, and brushwood, alongside important mineral undertones. On the palate, it is a classic and nicely harmonious wine, which, while tannic when young, develops beautifully with age. Expect a complex array of flavors including leather, tar, earthy notes, cherry, red fruit, strawberry, oak, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, pepper, mint, plum, black fruit, violet, and rose petal. 🍴 This important wine is perfectly suited for rich dishes such as roast red meats or game stew. It also makes an excellent pairing with medium-mature and mature cheeses. 🥂 The 1990 Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Margheria is an ideal choice for a grand occasion, a celebratory dinner, or a serious tasting, as it is likely at its peak or gracefully evolving. Given its age, it is highly recommended to decant this Barolo for at least 1-2 hours, and potentially longer, to allow it to breathe fully and to separate any sediment that may have formed over its long maturation. Serve at a temperature of 18-20°C (64-68°F). Handle the bottle gently to avoid disturbing any sediment. 【Historic Barolo from a strict-traditional Serralunga d'Alba estate, known for elegance and minerality with great aging potential】.
