Azelia, Barolo Margheria, 2010
Azelia's Serralunga d'Alba cru from the legendary 2010 vintage, a Barolo built for the long haul. While Azelia is based in Castiglione Falletto, Margheria gives Luigi Scavino access to true Serralunga terroir: a south-facing slope below the village, with white clay, calcareous-tufaceous marls, and a notable sand content that lends Margheria its distinctive perfumed, almost spicy character among Serralunga sites. Sixty-year-old vines push roots deep into the poor soil; macerations run up to sixty days, aging extends 30 months in traditional botti. The 2010 vintage is widely considered one of the modern era's high-water marks, marrying classical structure with ripe fruit. Fifteen years on, this is entering its prime with decades of life ahead.
