A beautiful Barolo in a textural style. This Massolino is a powerful wine with beautiful depth, a fine structure and real finesse. Delivering harmony with charisma in the relatively masculine style of this area, Massolino commands and transports the palate. Will age well, but its balance and generosity will makes it decantable now with some rich red meat. Supreme!
94/100 James Suckling (2020 Vintage)
"Bright and lively red fruit character with dried flowers, stones and hints of tree resin. Medium-bodied, clean and focused on the palate, with fine tannins and a linear finish. Shows freshness and poise. Polished. Try from 2027, but already a joy to taste."
93/100 Kerin O’Keefe (2020 Vintage)
"The fragrant 2020 Massolino straight Barolo is smooth, savoury and already accessible, featuring flavours of strawberry compote, blood orange and licorice. Lithe, refined tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced. Drink through 2030."
17+/20 Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (2020 Vintage)
"Lustrous mid ruby. Richness of fruit on the nose with a hint of gingerbread. With aeration opens up to savoury cherry, if still a little subdued. Supple, suave cherry fruit with superfine, long, chewy tannins. A pretty wine."
