Massolino Barolo 2017 1.5L

Description

Want to know what the Barolo fuss is about? Why people go nuts about Nebbiolo? Here’s one wine that shows the beauty of what Jancis Robinson describes as ‘the world’s most tantalising grape’ in its purest form. Using fruit from Serralunga d’Alba Massolino delivers Barolo that is graceful, vibrant, classical. Big oak and extended time on skins, old school, but not old fashioned. One for the cellar, and a great introduction to Barolo. Camphor, wild berry, new leather and blue flower aromas emerge on the nose of this savory wine. Full-bodied and delicious, the structured palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, baking spice and a hint of menthol alongside firm, refined tannins. This is an incredible performance for what is the firm’s entry-level Barolo. – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, 95 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Nebbiolo Country – Italy Region – Piedmont Vintage – 2017 Bottle Size – 1.5L ABV – 14.5%
