Massolino Barolo DOCG
Red | 2020 | Italy, Piedmont | 14.0%
Beautiful Barolo, drinking wonderfully right now.This wine is bright ruby-garnet in colour. With the grapes sourced from different sub-areas of Serralunga, there is a spectrum of perfumes on the nose, ranging from spicy to sweet, floral and fruit. The palate is a classic example of the region; full-bodied, elegant and well structured, with great ageing ability.

Producer Information
Producer Information
This 23-hectare estate has been in the Massolino family since 1896. Winemaker Franco Massolino has done a wonderful job of marrying change with respect for tradition, setting Massolino apart from many of the younger producers in Barolo today. The vineyards, with vines up to 60 years old, are in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba: the source of some of the greatest, most structured and longest-lived Barolos.
Their Barolo has an attractive aromatic dimension and is as good as Barolo gets at this price.
