Massolino Barolo 2021 1.5L Magnum

Massolino Barolo 2021 is a refined and structured Nebbiolo with elegant aromas of rose petals, red cherry and raspberry layered with notes of spice and earthy undertones. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, offering vibrant acidity, firm yet polished tannins and complex flavors of red fruit, licorice and mineral nuances. Its silky texture leads to a long, persistent finish with depth, finesse and excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, veal shank, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto and aged hard cheeses.

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Pts; The Massolino 2021 Barolo reveals a shiny ruby color and a core of dark fruit. Beyond the plummy fruit is tar, licorice, pressed flower and campfire ash. This wine has a pronounced savory side, yet it all fits squarely into a very delicate and finessed delivery. This is a pretty example of the vintage.

94 Wine Spectator Pts; A beam of pure cherry permeates this juicy red. Supporting flavors of strawberry, rose, graphite and eucalyptus add depth, while vibrant acidity focuses the flavors and drives them through the lingering finish. A great example of the modern style of Barolo.

93 James Suckling Pts; Intense, smoky style to this Barolo, dominated by floral aromas, with citrus notes allied to red fruits and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy acidity and tannins which are flexible and not dry, despite the austere finish. Try from 2027.

92 Jeb Dunnuck Pts; A jeweled ruby red color, the 2021 Barolo is expressive on the nose with notes of polished leather, ripe cherries, fresh herbs, and mossy earth. The structure is quite appealing, with mouthwatering, ripe acidity, sweet tannins, and an even feel in a medium-bodied frame that’s gently rounded. It’s a very pretty wine and a nice calling card for the estate in this vintage. Drink 2025-2035.
