SKU: MASBARPAR21
This is the only Barolo vineyard Massolino owns beyond Serralunga—‘the egg outside the nest’ as an old Piemontese saying goes. It is nonetheless not far from the cellars, sitting on a crest of a ridge, right next to the Serralunga border (on the Castiglione Falletto side). This nebbiolo showcases a unique blend of elegance and structure, capturing the superb quality of the 2021 vintage. Aromas of dried rose petals, crushed cranberries, and sweet spice lead to a structured, yet beautifully detailed palate. Its fine-grained, assertive tannins and vibrant mineral core ensure remarkable persistence and longevity.

Palate

The last of the Massolino Crus to be harvested, it is bursting with wild red fruit, mixed herbs and fresh earth aromas and flavours, as well as some spicy balsamic notes. Underpinning it all is an intense, mineral freshness and gravelly, fine-boned tannins. The tannins are, as always, more powerful and dusty than the crus from Serralunga but they are perfectly in balance.

Vintage

2021

Food Pairing

Grilled steak with plenty of marbling and an olive tapenade

”Luminous and expressive, with tar, dried rose petals and crushed cranberries. The palate is medium-bodied with delicate, delineated fruit. It’s juicy and incisive, with precise, polished tannins and a delicate finish. Very detailed and nuanced, it’s on the ethereal end of the spectrum.”
