2016 Barolo Margherita Otto V92 Rated Wine

Margherita Otto’s Barolo stands as a testament to Piedmont’s winemaking heritage, crafted from premium Nebbiolo grapes grown in Italy’s iconic Barolo region. This 2016 vintage offers an elegant interpretation of this celebrated wine style, balancing tradition with approachable sophistication for discerning palates.

Hailing from one of Piedmont’s most revered appellations, this wine captures the essence of its terroir through vibrant red fruit aromas—think cherry and raspberry—enhanced by delicate floral notes of rose petal and violet. While many Barolos lean toward bold power, this bottling prioritizes finesse, showcasing mid-weight tannins and a silky texture that make it accessible yet complex enough for long-term cellaring or immediate enjoyment at dinner parties or special occasions.

Vinous Magazine’s praise for Margherita Otto’s wines underscores its quality: “The [year] release highlights perfumed elegance with red-toned fruit flavors.” Whether paired with hearty braises or aged cheeses, its graceful structure ensures versatility at your table while delivering value for collectors seeking authentic Italian reds without overpowering intensity.

With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this wine strikes a harmonious balance between richness and refinement—a standout choice among Piedmont’s offerings for those seeking depth without heaviness.
