Wonderful aromas of violets, red roses, raspberries and orange peel follow through to a medium to full body, with chewy tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Needs time to soften. Best after 2028.

A rich, succulent style of Barolo, boasting fresh cherry, strawberry, rose, iron, tobacco and black pepper flavors. Firms up, with fine tannins that leave a chalky sensation on the saline mineral finish, showing terrific balance and length.

With fruit from 60- to 65-year-old vines in Serralunga d'Alba, the Massolino 2019 Barolo Parafada is vibrant and bright with very pretty aromas of wild cherry, blue flower, iron ore and rusty nail. The wine displays very pretty intensity but remains balanced all the while. There is a lot of precision and definition in this well-structured Nebbiolo. Be patient with this wine. Some 6,000 bottles will be released this fall.

Expressive, this Barolo evokes macerated plum, cherry, rose hip and chalky mineral flavors. Fresh and firm, with a long, energetic finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 410 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The Massolino 2017 Barolo Parafada draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba (where this winery is located) and is often the most muscular and brawny wine in this portfolio. That is not necessarily true in the 2017 vintage that sees extra richness and concentration across the board. Morello cherry and dried blackberry are followed by tarry spice, sweet hazelnut paste and a rusty mineral note of iron ore. For sure, this vintage draws out the sweeter and softer side of Parafada.
