Tasting Notes

This 2021 Massolino Barolo is refined and aromatic, showing garnet color with cherry, strawberry, dark plum, red fruit, rose, pressed flower, lavender, eucalyptus, licorice, tar, leather, spice, and campfire ash. The palate is full-bodied yet finessed, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins, savory mineral lift, juicy fruit, and a lingering structured finish.

Food Paring

Pair this classic Barolo with red meats, game, truffle dishes, fresh egg pasta with meat sauce, risotto, or mature cow and goat cheeses to complement its structure and savory aromatic depth. It also works beautifully with lamb, venison, and rich mushroom dishes when you want an elegant Nebbiolo with age-worthy finesse.

Professional Reviews

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The Massolino 2021 Barolo reveals a shiny ruby color and a core of dark fruit. Beyond the plummy fruit is tar, licorice, pressed flower and campfire ash. This wine has a pronounced savory side, yet it all fits squarely into a very delicate and finessed delivery. This is a pretty example of the vintage."

94 Wine Spectator

"A beam of pure cherry permeates this juicy red. Supporting flavors of strawberry, rose, graphite and eucalyptus add depth, while vibrant acidity focuses the flavors and drives them through the lingering finish. A great example of the modern style of Barolo."

93 James Suckling

"Intense, smoky style to this Barolo, dominated by floral aromas, with citrus notes allied to red fruits and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy acidity and tannins which are flexible and not dry, despite the austere finish. Try from 2027."

92 Jeb Dunnuck

"A jeweled ruby red color, the 2021 Barolo is expressive on the nose with notes of polished leather, ripe cherries, fresh herbs, and mossy earth. The structure is quite appealing, with mouthwatering, ripe acidity, sweet tannins, and an even feel in a medium-bodied frame that’s gently rounded. It’s a very pretty wine and a nice calling card for the estate in this vintage. Drink 2025-2035."
