In the glass Marghe is ruby red with light garnet glints, the colour Damilano gives on its own sheet. The 2024's back label says it was bottled in cellars at La Morra.
Delicate violet and red fruit, the two notes Damilano's own sheet gives for Marghe. Cherry is the red fruit drinkers name first, and a few also find rose petal.

LiquoriceDry, with just the right amount of tannin and a velvety, harmonious feel. Damilano puts that taste down to Nebbiolo and the clay-rich soil of the Langhe communes. Many drinkers also find earthy notes of leather and tar, and some find tobacco.
The finish is savoury and fresh, with good length. Damilano ferments this Nebbiolo for 12 days at a controlled temperature.
Damilano, the Barolo house, makes about 70,000 bottles of this Langhe Nebbiolo, and we would drink the 2024 young, between 2025 and 2027. Drinkers rate it well and mention red fruit most, ahead of earthy notes.
The 2024 Marghe sells for about £25 a bottle here, and its back label gives 14% alcohol. Damilano makes about 70,000 bottles of it, all from Nebbiolo.
Its strongest cards are Best with food and Best intro to this style: a dry Langhe Nebbiolo with delicate violet and red fruit that wants a plate beside it.
Dry, with tannin in the right measure and fresh red fruit, it wants food with some protein or fat: braised beef, porcini risotto, roast lamb or aged cheese.
Delicate violet and red fruit and a velvety feel make it a gentle first Nebbiolo, though the grape's tannin is still there to notice.
At about £25 for the 2024 it sits inside the usual UK range for a Langhe Nebbiolo, from a Barolo house whose Barolos cost far more.
A Langhe Nebbiolo with the Damilano name suits a Sunday roast or dinner with friends, though it is not a showpiece like the producer's Barolos.
At about £25 it is more a weekend bottle than a midweek one, though it needs no keeping and suits plenty of everyday dishes.
A wine to drink young: we suggest the 2024 between 2025 and 2027, not one to lay down for years.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Langhe denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Marghe comes from Nebbiolo grown on the clay-rich soil of the Langhe communes, and it is a wine for its first few years. When two vintages are on offer, the younger one has more time ahead of it.
The 2024 has 14% alcohol, by its back label. Drink it between 2025 and 2027, while it is young.
Drink the 2023 between 2024 and 2026, so it is at the end of its best years now.
The 2024 has 14% alcohol, by its back label. Drink it between 2025 and 2027, while it is young.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Damilano is based on Via Roma in Barolo and makes Barolo from vineyards such as Cannubi, Brunate, Cerequio and Liste. Marghe is its Langhe Nebbiolo, and the 2024's back label carries the Equalitas sustainable winery mark.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Langhe is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Langhe falls within Piedmont, covering The hill communes of Cuneo province across the Langhe and Roero, with Alba at the centre.

Of a £25 bottle of the 2024, about £7.38 is tax: duty of about £3.22 at 14% alcohol, plus VAT of about £4.17.
Damilano also makes Barolo, but Marghe is sold under the Langhe DOC. So it is priced as a Langhe Nebbiolo: about £25 for the 2024, inside the usual UK range for one.
Damilano makes about 70,000 bottles of Marghe. A run that size spreads the cost of cellar work and bottling across many bottles, which helps keep it at about £25.
The 2024's back label carries the Equalitas sustainable winery mark. Being certified adds a small cost, shared across every bottle.
Dishes that go with this wine
Marghe is a wine for hearty first courses and red meat. Its tannin softens against protein and fat, so braised beef, porcini risotto and aged cheese all suit it.
Marghe is a dry Langhe Nebbiolo with real tannin, and long-cooked meat gives that tannin protein and fat to grip. The meat softens the wine, and the wine's red fruit lifts a rich sauce.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Ragu alla bolognese · More pairings →
The earthy side many drinkers find in this Nebbiolo meets the earthiness of porcini and truffle. Its freshness also cuts through the butter and cheese of a risotto or a plate of tajarin.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Tajarin al Tartufo · Truffle risotto · Agnolotti del Plin · More pairings →
The fat of a ribeye or a leg of lamb coats the mouth, and the tannin and freshness of this Langhe Nebbiolo clear it between bites.
Try with: Fiorentina steak · Leg of lamb · Ribeye steak · Sunday Roast Beef
Salt in an aged cheese softens the tannin of a dry Nebbiolo and makes its red fruit taste riper. A strong Cheddar or a hard pecorino holds its own against the 14% alcohol of the 2024.
Try with: Cheese board · Strong cheddar cheese · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau
The violet and red fruit of this Langhe Nebbiolo sit well beside the deeper flavour of duck and venison. Its tannin is in the right measure, so it does not swamp a roast chicken either.
Try with: Roast chicken · Duck breast · Roast Pheasant · Venison Stew
Chilli heat makes the tannin of a dry Nebbiolo taste harsh and the 2024's 14% alcohol feel hot. The delicate violet and red fruit get lost too, so save Marghe for milder food.
Skip with: Chicken madras · Chicken jalfrezi · Crispy chilli beef · Szechuan beef · Pairing guide →
We would drink the 2024 between 2025 and 2027 and finish the 2023 by the end of 2026. Until then, keep the bottles somewhere cool and dark.

No. Marghe is Damilano's Langhe DOC Nebbiolo, a separate wine from the Barolos it makes from vineyards such as Cannubi and Brunate. It uses the same grape under the wider Langhe appellation, and it is best drunk young.
Red meat and hearty first courses suit it best. Brasato al Barolo, porcini risotto, tajarin with truffle and aged cheese all work well. Keep it away from chilli heat, which makes the tannin taste harsh.
The 2024 is about £25 a bottle on this page.
Not long, as it is a wine to drink young. We suggest the 2024 between 2025 and 2027, and the 2023 by the end of 2026.
In Piedmont, from Nebbiolo grown on the clay-rich soil of the Langhe communes. Damilano is based in Barolo, and the 2024's back label says it was bottled in cellars at La Morra.
