點擊次數：9565

The 2001 Barolo Parafada has developed beautifully. Smoke, licorice, dark cherries, plums, earthiness and spices are all woven together in this gracious, striking Barolo. The 2001 was aged in French oak barrels, which the wine has handled with impeccable grace. The refined Massolino style is very much in evidence in this finessed, stunningly complete Barolo. Hints of tertiary complexity appear on the bouquet, but this remains a young wine with more than enough fruit and structure to drink well for at least another decade. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. Massolino is one the most consistent producers in Piedmont. Year after year brothers Roberto and Franco Massolino present a lineup that is exceptional, from the humblest wine all the way up to their Riserva. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.

Massolino’s 2001 Barolo Parafada, a rich ruby, offers a deep nose redolent of toasted oak, vanilla, menthol, licorice and tar. It is quite structured, with flavors of cherries in liqueur and spices with good follow through on the palate. This wine does malolactic fermentation in barrique, although the 2001 is less overtly oaky than previous vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.

A wine with lots of berry, meat and earth character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, rich aftertaste. Velvety Barolo. Best after 2008. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
