Barolo, Vigna Margheria--Vintage 1999
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Luigi Pira
Tasting note: Medium ruby. The Margheria comes across as the most classic of these wines owing to its somewhat austere, clenched personality. It offers a lovely ethereal nose with suggestions of flowers, spices and white truffles that is followed by red fruit flavors on a deceptively medium-bodied, structured frame of great length. Patience is the key here, but this will still be a delicious Barolo at age 20. 91/drink after 2009, 03/06 91 points. Antonio Galloni, Italy Report #G7, May 2006
