Tasting profile
A structured, old-world Barolo with a complex nose of dried prunes, figs, florals, sweet spices, tobacco, and smoky, gamey notes leading into a savory palate of sour cherry and anise. Grippy tannins and bright acidity give it a chewy, persistent finish, drinking young now but built for decades of aging.
Synthesized from 523Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It is louis decided to refine part of this Cru in casks: exemplary work. From there the Margheria draws the best from himself. Complex aromas, blacks fruits, licorice and spices in the typical style of Serralunga. Energetic. The tannins frame the structure giving density and depth to the wine. Mineral, earthy, savory . Impressive.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Azelia Barolo Margheria lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italy (947 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 523.
