Wine Advocate Luigi Pira, who has the most massive hands I have ever encountered on a vigneron, has fashioned a more structured effort with his 1997 Barolo Margheria. This wine has become more delineated and civilized after spending time cask and foudre. Tell-tale notes of kirsch liqueur, dried flowers, rose petals. licorice, soy, leather and tabacco combine with scents of seaweed, chocolate and red/black fruits. The Margheria possesses firmer tannin, more muscle and less open-knit and expansiveness/charm when compared to Marenca. Nevertheless, it is a sensationally concentrated, full-bodied, powerful Barolo in need of 2-4 years of cellaring. It should drink well between 2004-2020. Score: 92. —Robert Parker, June 2001.
