| Over het wijnhuis | Azelia is één van de toonaangevende wijnproducenten in de gemeente Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. In 2020 vierde het wijnhuis een indrukwekkend 100-jarig bestaan. Het wijnhuis wordt geleid door Luigi Scavino. Inmiddels is de vijfde generatie, in de vorm van zoon Lorenzo, ook betrokken bij alle aspecten van het wijn maken. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Margheria in de comune (gemeente) Serralunga d’Alba in Barolo. De wijngaarden liggen op 250-360 meter boven zeeniveau en liggen op het zuiden en zuidwesten. De wijnstokken zijn ongeveer 60 jaar oud. De bodems bestaan uit klei en tufsteen. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten voor 55-60 dagen op een temperatuur van 31 graden Celcius, waarbij de druivenpulp naar beneden wordt geduwd voor een subtiele, zachte smaakextractie. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 30 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten (een combinatie van Slavonisch, Frans en Oostenrijks hout, in vaten van 25-50 hl). De wijn wordt niet gefilterd of geklaard. |

| Awards | "The most structured and tannic of these new releases from Azelia is the 2017 Barolo Margheria. The tannins are quite present, meaning that you are required to afford generous aging time to this Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba, hoping that the fruit intensity will run the course. At this young stage, the wine shows blackberry and plum, with licorice, rusty nail and some crushed stone or terracotta clay. The wine's mineral signature is strong and elegant. In appearance, it reveals a lean and bright ruby color, and the power and natural richness of the mouthfeel come as a welcome surprise. This was a release of about 5,900 bottles." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Smells like a bunch of fresh roses with strawberries and white mushrooms. It’s full-bodied with a very fine, layered palate with lightly dusty tannins. It’s extremely long and sophisticated. Drink in 2025." - James Suckling "The 2017 Barolo Margheria is gorgeous. Open, perfumed aromatics are immediately alluring. On the palate, the 2017 is a dark, mysterious wine, with layers of flavor that continue to develop over time. Dark cherry, blood orange, spice, leather, iron and scorched earth add striking layers of nuance. The tannins are potent - we are in Serralunga after all - but the 2017 has so much to offer. It's a gorgeous Barolo to enjoy over the next two decades, maybe more." - Vinous "Margheria is an MGA in Serralunga, where Azelia occupies the higher westerly aspect. This makes the wine more austere in comparison to examples from other producers. Bright ruby in the glass, the scents are mostly focused on violets, with rhubarb and red berry notes. The palate is vibrant and mineral, with ripe, lavish tannins and bracing acidity. The structure and the almost-tart fruit are finely tailored. Outstanding now, but built for the long haul. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040" - Decanter "This opens with aromas of scorched earth that eventually give way to toasted hazelnut, forest floor, dried herbs and whiffs of iris. Full-bodied and elegant, the palate recalls cranberry, star anise and orange zest before an almost salty finish. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide support. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2027–2032." - Wine Enthusiast "Serralunga d'Alba. Tasted blind. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, crushed sweet-cherry nose. Strawberry and cherry fruit with notes of spice lifted by juicy acidity on the finish. Finely built, long tannins. Reveals some power, but elegant overall. (WS)" - 17/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2016-vintage "Tight and firmly tannic, this red's cherry, plum, eucalyptus, tar and mineral flavors are locked in for now. Though lightly astringent on the finish, this shows good balance overall. This just needs time. Best from 2024 through 2038." - Wine Spectator |
