As early as 1947, the Massolino family produced their first Barolo. To this day, they regard it as the holistic expression of their hills – a Barolo blended from several vineyards, and thus one that tells the story of more than a single cru. The soils are of a mixed, slightly calcareous consistency, typical of the area around Serralunga d'Alba. The estate deliberately opts for traditional fermentation vats and large Slavonian oak casks rather than smaller barriques, in order to preserve the wine's purer, unadulterated identity – up to 30 months in large oak, followed by further ageing in cool, dark cellars.

Garnet red in the glass. A broad spectrum of aromas ranges from spicy to sweeter, floral and fruity notes. Powerful on the palate, classically structured, with great ageing potential. A Barolo that impressively demonstrates year after year why, at Massolino, tradition is no contradiction to modernity. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Barolo is an excellent introduction to the Barolo selection in this range. Crushed blossoms, lively acidity, notes of small red berries and a hint of white pepper lend it energy throughout. Medium-bodied, supple and nuanced, the 2022 Barolo is a prime example of finesse. Its balance and overall appeal are commendable." Vinous

"This wine captivates with its open character, featuring lush aromas of blackcurrants and boysenberries, followed by earthy, autumnal notes, liquorice and baking spices. It is a classic interpretation with a medium to full body." Wine Advocate

"A subtle nose, showing dried flowers and raspberries. Medium-bodied, with underlying fruit concentration that feels transparent and almost ethereal, supported by integrated, precise tannins that focus toward the finish. Drink or hold." James Suckling
