Massolino Barolo 2019

2019 WAS A STELLAR YEAR FOR BAROLO OFFERING POWER, COMPLEXITY AND AGEWORTHINESS

 

"Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs. I love the clarity and the tautness on the palate, with elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo etherealness and power at the same time. Already approachable." - James Suckling

 

“The 2019 Barolo is a very serious wine. Readers looking for an easygoing, entry-level Barolo will not find that here. Bright and sizzling with tannin, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. Crushed rocks, red/purplish fruit and dried flowers emerge with some coaxing, but this is really a wine for the cellar.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

 

"Red and black fruit, almond, a little creamy and spicy, mint and floral perfume. Medium-bodied, rounded and fleshy, but fresh, tannin has has a gentle graininess, kind of succulent, but present and quite firm. Strawberry, a stony feel to it, and good length. Really lovely expression of Barolo. It carries the structure of 2019 to good effect, and should age beautifully." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
