Produceret første gang i 1985. Fra 37 år gamle stokke fra Margheria marken. Massolino har 1,1 Ha, og højden af 340 meter over havet. Meget kalk og en stor del sand i jorden. Gæret på cement.
Vinen ligger 30 mdr. på store slavonske egetræsfade.
2016 er stort i Langhe, og der er tale om en vin, som kun vil blive bedre over de næste 10-15 år.

“The 2016 Barolo Margheria is super-refined and elegant, but it is also classically austere, as so many top wines are in this vintage. Bright red berry fruit, wild flowers, mint, blood orange, rose petal and cinnamon all grace this very pretty, nuanced Barolo. The Margheria is medium in body, and despite its austerity, it is also very pretty, not to mention incredibly inviting. It will be even better in another few years, once the tannins soften. Readers will have to be patient.”

“The Massolino 2016 Barolo Margheria offers a plump and ripe fruit profile with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum. Beyond that powerful primary bouquet are layers of spice, tobacco and crushed stone. Serralunga d’Alba often delivers ferrous mineral aromas that resemble iron ore and rusty nail, and those appear here too in a supporting role. The Margheria site shapes structured wines that are slightly more accessible, if you consider neighboring sites in Serralunga d’Alba, but it is also built for the long term should you decide to wait”
