Tasting Note

This Barolo is deep garnet red in colour with bright hues. The bouquet is intense and complex, with red fruit aromas and floral and spicy notes. On the palate, this wine shows the elegance and charm that is typical of the Nebbiolo grape, with flavours that are robust, rich and yet still elegant.

Product Notes

Massolino Barolo `Parafada` is a top-notch wine that boasts of a complex and distinctive character. This bottle of red wine is named after the single vineyard from which the grapes are sourced - Parafada. The vineyard is situated in the prized cru of Serralunga d'Alba and is renowned for its steep slopes, calcareous marl, and sandstone soils that bestow the wines with unique characteristics. The wine is made from the Nebbiolo grape variety and aged for eighteen months in French oak barrels. The result is a wine with a deep ruby-red color and an intense aroma of ripe fruit, leather, spice, and floral notes. The palate is mouth-filling, structured, and persistent, with a tannic backbone that promises to develop further on aging. The Massolino Barolo `Parafada` is considered among the finest examples of Barolo wines and an embodiment of the Serralunga terroir.
