Massolino Barolo 1.5L MAGNUM 2022

Massolino's classic Barolo, first made in 1911, is a magnum drawn from seven hectares of prime Serralunga vineyard.

Serralunga d'Alba is the most austere and long-lived of the Barolo communes, its steep ridge of calcareous marl producing wines built on tannin and acidity rather than early charm. Massolino's straight Barolo is a village blend in the traditional sense, taken from seven hectares dotted around the town: Briccolina, Collareto, Broglio and Le Turne are the most important, with Le Turne bordering Margheria and Collareto lying next to Vigna Rionda. A little fruit from the Parussi cru in Castiglione Falletto and some declassified Vigna Rionda also find their way in, and vine age ranges from roughly ten to fifty-five years. The grapes spend ten to twelve days on skins, with fermentation split between large wooden cask and concrete, and the final blend matures for thirty months across French, Austrian and Slavonian oak of 40 to 100 hectolitres.

Give it air now or cellar it for another five to ten years; a magnum will run longer still. Serve at 16-18°C with braised short rib, truffled tajarin or Parmigiano.
