SKU: MASSOBAR21
First produced in 1911, the fruit for Massolino's classic cuvée comes from seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The most important of these—Briccolina, Collareto, Broglio, and Le Turne—are dotted around the town itself; Le Turne borders Margheria, while Collareto lies next to Vigna Rionda. We are talking quality real estate here. The 2021 also includes a little fruit from Massolino's Parussi Cru as well as some declassified Vigna Rionda! Vine age varies from 10 to 55 years. Half of this Barolo was fermented in large wooden casks, with the other half in concrete. The final blend matured for up to 30 months in large, Slavonian oak casks.

Palate

So much finesse, so much perfume, so much intensity and length. There is great potential here, yet the wine is already so delicious, with ribbons of sweet, complex fruit shot through with ultra-fine tannins, complexed by smoke and loads of spice. It has excellent structure and freshness yet tremendous elegance.

Food Pairing

Bistecca with fries and truffle salt.

”The 2021 Barolo is a fabulous wine that shows both the quality of the year and the very high standards at Massolino. Pliant and expressive, with notable depth, the Barolo is super-impressive. Macerated dark cherry, spice, lavender, menthol and blood orange all build in the glass. What a gorgeous and complete wine this is. The straight Barolo is, without question, the hidden gem in this range.”
– Antonio Galloni, Vinous
