After splurging on the 2012, 2013 and 2014 “table wines,” Alan Manley is producing his first official barolo (as such because it complies with the relevant specification) with the 2015 vintage.

About 45 days of maceration, aging for 2 years in 25hl Garbellotto Slavonian oak barrels and a further year in 25hl Mittelberger French oak barrels.

In adecidedly warm vintage, Alan debuts a product of great elegance, which is immediately noticeable on the nose, where floral notes and wood aromas come through delicately. In the mouth it already appears balanced, between salty and fruity, with pronounced but ripe tannins that hint at an interesting future evolution during aging, if left in the bottle a few years more.

In this its first vintage 2015, Margherita Otto Barolo was produced in 2608 bottles and 490 magnums, a very rare wine, for true connoisseurs!
