Product Notes

Massolino Barolo is an exquisite Italian red wine, hailing from Serralunga d'Alba region of Piedmont. This robust wine is known for its impressive complexity and longevity. With an intense garnet hue, it showcases the classic Barolo aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and subtle oak nuances. The palate is embraced by rich tannins, deep flavours of cherry, plum, and dark chocolate, harmoniously balanced by a delightful acidity. Massolino Barolo is a virtuoso of maturation, requiring patience as it reveals its majestic layers over time. Ideal for after-dinner moments or bold meat dishes, it offers an authentic expression of its Piedmont terroir.

Tasting Notes

This wine is bright ruby-garnet in colour. With the grapes sourced from different sub-areas of Serralunga, there is a spectrum of perfumes on the nose, ranging from spicy to sweet, floral and fruit. The palate is a classic example of the region; full-bodied, elegant and well structured, with great ageing ability.
