Barolo Margheria Riserva 2017 – Boasso

Description

Barolo Margheria shows a beautiful deep ruby color and a complex, persuasive nose with touches of red berry fruit and spices. in the mouth, it succeeds admirably in combining sumptuous richness of fabric with surprising complexity, a sour cherry of great pulpiness; the finish is long and corresponding, just warmed by excellent alcoholic power.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks thermoregulated at 28c with frequent daily pumping over for a total of 12-15 days. At the end of tumultuous fermentation is followed by submerged cap fermentation for 15 days to have complete extraction of tannins and aromas.
