The 2021 Massolino Barolo is a beautifully structured and classically styled Barolo from one of Serralunga d’Alba’s most revered traditional producers. Crafted from estate vineyards across the commune, the wine captures the power and longevity of Serralunga Nebbiolo while retaining impressive elegance and purity. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and blood orange layered alongside sweet spice, tobacco and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine remarkable fragrance and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully concentrated red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral tension and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely structured with excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2021 Massolino Barolo is a superb traditional Barolo - savoury, elegant and beautifully refined with classic Serralunga structure and depth. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats, mushroom risotto, roast duck or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2050+.
