Franco Massolino is renowned for combining forward-thinking techniques with a respect for tradition. Grapes are sourced from several vineyards in the commune of Serralunga d`Alba, from up to 60-year-old vines, resulting in structured and robust Barolos. They display a spectrum of perfumes on the nose, ranging from spicy to sweet, floral and fruit. The palate is a classic example of the region; full-bodied, muscular but elegant, with great ageing potential.

The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous, harmonious wine. In this vintage, the straight Barolo is a bit lighter than normal, as most wines are, but it is so impeccably balanced. Pliant and inviting, the 2017 will be pleasurable to drink in another year or two. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, cinnamon and crushed rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this exquisite Barolo from the Massolino family. So many 2017s are marked by sinewy tannins, here, they are especially fine. Antonio Galloni1st February 2021
