The Barolo 2020 from Massolino is a remarkable wine that perfectly embodies the craftsmanship of the Massolino brothers. Thanks to the grapes from different plots in Serralunga D'Alba, it unfolds an impressive complexity with a fascinating spectrum of aromas that range from spicy to floral and fruity notes.
The careful hand-picking and fermentation in wooden vats demonstrate the commitment to the highest quality. The 30-month maturation in large Slovenian oak barrels gives it an elegant structure and harmonious balance.
With its full-bodied character and polished tannins, this Barolo is a delight both young and with some maturity. Decanting before serving is recommended to bring out its full potential. An excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes or simply to enjoy on its own - a true classic from the Barolo region!
The Massolino Vigna Rionda winery is without doubt one of the ten best in the entire Langhe region. The Massolino siblings are showered with praise by wine critics and the international press alike for their world-class wines, from the classic Dolcetto to the high-quality Barolo single-vineyard wine. Founded more than 100 years ago in Serralunga D'Alba, Massolino Vigna Rionda has remained a family business to this day and is run by the fourth Massolino generation, Franco, Paola and Roberto. The guiding principle for all Massolino wines is reflected in a very clearly defined production philosophy: a precise product that fully reflects the characteristics of the fruit and the terroir. The Massolino Barolo and Barbaresco wines embody the best that this grape variety has to offer: long-lasting wines with great fruit density, complexity and power. All of this perfectly combined with incredible finesse and elegance.
This Barolo is at its best when served with red meat, especially game, steak and dishes with truffles. It also goes excellently with meat sauce, risotto and medium-ripened cheese made from cow's and goat's milk.
