Azelia Barolo Margheria 2015

Normally $100. $65 today! Azelia is a huge up-and-comer in the last few years and in the ripe, fleshy, gorgeous 2015 vintage, it is shining. WHAT a price!

Savvy Barolo-heads will know Azelia and be snapping it up at this price, but if you’re new to this producer and want something on the more traditional side with a LOOOOONG aging curve, this is it. Only 15 cases to sell!

In 1920, Lorenzo Scavino began to vinify a portion of the family's vineyards from the heart of Castiglione Falletto. Today, Alfonso’s son, Luigi, and grandson, Lorenzo, are the 3rd and 4th generations in charge of this family estate. The Margheria Vineyard lies in Serralunga, and has a fair amount of sand intermixed in the soil, giving it spice and a bit of a more forward character generally. The vines are 60+ years old!

We think this is probably the best Azelia we have tasted, and that includes the awesome 2010 (which also scored a WA95). This is a wine to COLLECT. At our price? C’mon! Here’s the pro reviews...first come, first served!
