Description
93 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Massolino 2018 Barolo offers a classic interpretation of Serralunga d’Alba with big structure, ample but contained power and lots of black fruit and licorice. This 85,000-bottle production ages in large oak casks for 24 months, and this process further integrates the wine’s pretty texture.
92 Points Antonio Galloni
The 2018 Barolo is the only Barolo Massolino bottled in this vintage. Aromatically expressive and gracious, the 2018 offers lovely translucence in the mid-weight style of the year. Sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco, spice, licorice and rose petal all open effortlessly in the glass. Naturally, the 2018 doesn’t have the depth of the single vineyards or the best vintages, but it is an absolutely lovely wine to savor over the next 10-15 years.
