Descrizione

The Margheria vineyard stands out for its excellent western exposure, a favorable microclimate, predestined soil and the young age of the vines, all elements that contribute to producing excellent quality grapes. After the manual harvest, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C, with frequent daily pumping over which lasts for 12-15 days. At the end of this phase, a submerged cap fermentation follows for 15 days, ensuring complete extraction of the tannins and precious aromas. The wine rests in new 20 hectoliter oak barrels for 5 years, without undergoing filtration operations. The refinement continues in the bottle.

Barolo Margheria has an intense ruby color and a complex and enveloping olfactory profile, with undertones of red berry fruit and spices. In the mouth, the wine manages to beautifully combine the richness of its structure with a surprising complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, warmed by excellent alcoholic strength, giving Barolo Margheria a distinctive and memorable character.

Winery history

The family estate was founded in the immediate post‑war period, and from the 1970s the Boasso family began vinifying part of their grapes rather than selling them. The farmhouse and cellar have been progressively renovated; since 2010 the estate has added an agriturismo to welcome visitors and tourists interested in the Langhe. Today the estate is run by Franco and his sons Ezio and Claudio, who manage the vineyards and hospitality.

Production philosophy

Production focused on expressing the terroir and the traditions of the Langhe: traditional winemaking with long macerations, aging in large casks, and careful attention to grape quality for structured wines suitable for aging.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. Typical Langhe soils that provide structure and longevity to the wines, particularly the Baroli produced by the winery.
