Lamont's Pre-Arrival Offer
Magnum (1500ml). Margheria is one of Serralunga's most important and illustrious sites. The Massolino family bought their first parcel here in 1964, with more land added during the '70s. The current holding is still only 1.5 hectares. Sitting 280 metres above sea level, Margheria is a chalky, sandy site whose profile brings elegance and prettiness, while its high calcium carbonate content adds mineral energy. Fermented in large oak fermenters and aged exclusively in large casks, this is as Chambolle-like as Barolo gets.
Critic Reviews

“The 2022 Barolo Margheria pours a medium ruby color and reflects the higher sand content of the site, which lends a more elegant personality than typical Serralunga expressions. Aromas of raspberries, pomegranate, clementine, and fresh flowers emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it carries refined tannins with balanced acidity and a weightless feel across the palate. Drink 2026-2038.”

“The 2022 Barolo Margheria is laced with dark red fruit, iron, mint, white pepper, slate and dried herbs. As always, the Margheria presents a decidedly savory, mineral-driven side of Barolo and Serralunga. Beams of tannin kick up the mid-palate through to the long, sustained finish. There are no hard edges or awkward contours here.”

“More immediately minerally and stony on the nose. Subdued raspberry fruit with a hint of leather and a suggestion of black pepper. Succulent on the palate with compact raspberry fruit and gripping tannins. Long and with an imposing structure that nevertheless is still complementary to the fruit. Original score: 17+/20”
