MASSOLINO BAROLO DOCG 2022

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 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
“Presented in the estate’s signature light cream label, the Massolino 2022 Barolo is a blend of fruit from Serralunga d’Alba, with vineyards in Collaretto, Briccolina, Broglio and Le Turne, together with a parcel in Castiglione Falletto. Aged for up to 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine offers an open-knit personality with generous layers of blackcurrant and boysenberry followed by earthy autumnal notes, licorice and baking spice. This is a classic rendition with medium- to full-bodied richness and the bold lines and extra concentration you expect from a warm-vintage Nebbiolo. Despite its broader frame, the wine avoids overripe flavours and remains remarkably composed. A lifted herbal note, almost minty in character, adds freshness on the finish." 

94/100 Jacobo Garcia-Andrade, James Suckling (2022 Vintage)
“While this may include a dash of fruit from Castiglione Falletto, Massolino’s classic Barolo is Serralunga in its heart and soul. It is a perennial overachiever for its price and the 2022 is no exception. A subtle nose, showing dried flowers and raspberries. Mediumbodied, with underlying fruit concentration that feels transparent and almost ethereal, supported by integrated, precise tannins that focus toward the finish. Drink or hold.”
