2021 Barolo, Massolino

2021 Barolo, Massolino

This was bottled in September 2024 after long ageing in large old oak barrels. This is an athletic and classical Barolo with real energy. A little white pepper and tar opens on the nose with notes of red cherries, wild herbs and cherry blossom flooding the palate. This is tightly coiled with a fine, compact mineral note and beautiful energy flowing through on the finish.

Tasting notes

Lustrous mid ruby. Saline hints over lifted red fruit and with a suggestion of rosemary. A core of red fruit that still needs to unfurl completely, but there is enticing lightness of touch on the palate and with fine, long, persistent tannins.

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.
