Very pure fruit with citrus, raspberry and green strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine and fresh tannins and crisp finish. Crunchy. Drinkable but better in two or three years.

Azelia makes three wines with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, including San Rocco, Cerretta and this wine. There is also a Riserva from Bricco Voghera. The 2019 Barolo Margheria comes from a southwest facing slope opposite the Perno Vineyard. The site has very poor soils with white clay, and the vines (aged 65 years old on average) are forced to push their roots very deep as a result. This wine has a tight and very firm personality with dark fruit, rusty nail, dusty mineral and tight structure. Those rusty mineral aromas give it away as Serralunga d'Alba. This is an age-worthy wine, with 5,900 bottles released.
I tasted six Barolos from Luigi Scavino's Azelia: five from 2019 and a Riserva from 2013. The Riserva is a special wine that sees an outstanding five years of aging in oak casks and another five years in bottle before its commercial release. The vines range from 95 to 120 years old.

Serralunga d’Alba. Mid ruby. Quite closed on the nose, with mere hints of savoury spice. Tightly packed cherry fruit on the palate, with fine, firm tannins. Built like a brick house. (WS)
