WINE DESCRIPTION

Boasso Barolo Margheria is red wine produced by Boasso Franco winery in the Barolo appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Margheria vineyard, which is known for its unique soil composition and favorable microclimate. The winemaking process is that of modern Barolo with a moderate tannin extraction protocol and the use of new oak to yield a style with less grainy, but still firm tannins and oak sweetness on the finish. Boasso Barolo Margheria is a full-bodied wine with firm tannins and a long finish, making it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Boasso Barolo Margheria is a pale ruby-colored, brick-rimmed expression of Nebbiolo.On the nose, it exhibits aromas of cranberry, rose petal, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and firm, with a concentration mid-palate flavors such as black cherry and dried herbs. The finish is long and spicy, with a lingering hint of sweet oak. Overall, Boasso Barolo Margheria is a well-structured, intensely flavorful wine that will continue to improve over the next 15 years. Served with pulled lamb.
