[SOLD-OUT] Massolino Barolo 2013

Wine Front 94 points!

“Red fruits, sweet almonds, spiced biscuit, roses and herbs. Medium bodied, supple and almost juicy red fruits, cool acidity, almond biscuit again, some new leather, but fragrant and energetic from front to back. The tannin is ample, but not forbidding, and the balance and length is spot on. Here’s a wonderful vintage for Massolino. Classic. Get into it.”

Gary Walsh, Wine Front, August 2017

 “Readers will get a good sense of what the vintage offers at Massolino with the 2013 Barolo. Deep, layered and ample on the palate, the 2013 exudes depth and aromatic intensity. Dark red cherry, plum, wild flowers, mint and savory herbs are laced into the super expressive finish. Readers should not miss this drop-dead gorgeous beauty. This is the first bottling of the base Barolo. And it is terrific.”

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, February 2017

"The Massolino winery is an amazing post-modern complex with state of the art equipment rubbing shoulders with large format botte. Winemaker Giovanni Angeli like-wise blends his New World experience with respect for the Piedmontese traditions. This has red cherry and raspberry aromas with rose petal and ginger biscuits in the back-ground. Fine and long with oodels of juicy red fruits, the ample tannins sustain the bright energetic finish."
