The Massolino family has farmed in the village since 1896 and bought their first parcel of Margheria in 1964, adding further land through the 1970s; the holding still runs to only 1.5 hectares. Margheria sits at around 280 metres on a chalky, sandy site whose high calcium carbonate content is the source of both its mineral drive and its reputation for perfume rather than sheer weight. Fermentation is carried out in large oak fermenters and the wine is then aged exclusively in large casks, a traditional regime that keeps oak flavour out of the way of the fruit. Among the Serralunga crus this is the graceful one, about as Chambolle-like as Barolo gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinkable after about five years and, in magnum, capable of two decades or more. Serve at 16-18°C with braised beef cheek, mushroom risotto or aged Castelmagno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
