Massolino - Vigna Rionda Parussi

Massolino's only Barolo grown outside Serralunga d'Alba, from a single vineyard on the crest of a hill in Castiglione Falletto, made since 2007.

Tasting notes

Deep garnet red. Ethereal, enveloping bouquet of sweet spices, sandalwood, tobacco and leather. Great structure with tannin that softens with time, and a very long finish typical of Castiglione Falletto.

Pairs well with

Pairs with the region's rich, traditional cuisine, stewed meats and medium to long matured cheeses.
