The Margherita Otto 2016 Barolo (with 3600 bottles produced) is a firm and tightly knit expression with a solid center of gravity. The wine offers a dark and robust textural fabric with a pretty interlay of dark fruit dried cherry plum licorice crushed rock and balsam herb. You get the full package of Nebbiolo aromas presented with elegance grace and careful balance. Thanks to that slightly darker character I'd pair this pretty Barolo with an autumnal dish served locally that involves white truffles from Alba.
