94 / 100"Precise and cohesive, it shows notes of flowers and small red fruits. The splendid sensorial matrix offers nuances of currants, raspberries, cherries, cedar pieces and pomegranate. A very subtle presence of citrus dominates the secondary scene enriching the matrix. Full body, velvety tannins of very fine grain and a sunny and intense finish that closes leaving a remarkable fruity after tasting on the palate."

"Palish ruby. A subtle, lifted, cherry and cranberry nose dabbed with spicy oak notes and a hint of orange skin. Sappy, lively cherry fruit on the palate with a long, tannic grip on the finish. Fresh, long and elegant. Can be approached now."

"Lots of lavender, raspberry and orange blossom aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a polished finish. Shows lovely drive and balance. Clear and fine."

Tasting Notes
A beautiful Barolo in a textural style. This Massolino is a powerful wine with beautiful depth, a fine structure and real finesse. Delivering harmony with charisma in the relatively masculine style of this area, Massolino commands and transports the palate. Will age well, but its balance and generosity will makes it decantable now with some rich red meat. Supreme!
