Margherita Otto in Barolo was founded by an American, Alan Manley. Like many of us, Alan grew up in Westchester; unlike many of us, he’s dedicated his life to producing world-class Barolo using the old-school methods. Shortly after moving to Piedmont on a whim he was offered a job helping out Maria Teresa Mascarello in the cellar of Bartolo Mascarello winery– that’s the wine equivalent of having Da Vinci teach you to draw, or learning how to shoot threes from JJ Redick.
Brooding nose of cherry with a sweet, fragrant layer of red fruit on top and with peppery notes and a hint of minty garden herbs and stones. Sappy, juicy red fruit with a layer of very fine, chewy tannins. Strikes an amazing balance. Sensational tannin management in this vintage. Closes up on the finish, which is an indication for the long life it has ahead of it.
Antonio Galloni 92 Points The 2017 Barolo is a very pretty wine. Perfumed aromatics, distinctly red-toned fruit and mid-weight structure are the signatures. You will find a gracious, perfumed Barolo that is more finesse than power. This is a terrific showing.
