Massolino Barolo Serralunga
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nAppearance: garnet red colour with variable intensity depending on the vintage.\r\nBouquet: the grapes come from different subzones in Serralunga and this gives them a broad and variable spectrum of perfumes, ranging from tempting spicy notes to those of a sweeter, floral and fruity nature.\r\nFlavor: a variety of sensations, with a full-bodied, classic and well structured wine which ages well and perfectly represents the important character of our land.\r\nFood Pairing - It achieves its best expression when served with red meats, particularly game, and with dishes dressed with truffle. It is also excellent with fresh egg pasta and meat sauce, and with risotto, as well as medium-mature cow\u2019s milk and goat\u2019s milk cheeses.\r\nTop 100 Wines of 2020\u201d by Wine Spectator\r\nAbout Massolino\r\nThe\u00a0history\u00a0of the Massolinos and their wine became entwined with the history of\u00a0Serralunga d\u2019Alba\u00a0in 1896, when\u00a0Giovanni\u00a0founded the Estate. Giovanni was the very first person to bring the electric current to the village. An enterprising,\u00a0tenacious\u00a0and\u00a0creative\u00a0man, progenitor of a family that has made the combination of inspiration and tradition something to be\u00a0proud of.\r\nThe first wine cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of the founder Giovanni, who, together with his sister Angela, extended his estate into the best soils and, in 1934, was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. At that time, Giuseppe had six children. Three of them, Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, followed in their father\u2019s footsteps, expanding the estate with the purchase of cru vineyards which are authentic jewels.\r\nMaking wine with passion, in its land of origin, preserving the typical characteristics of the autochthonous grape varieties, being convinced that there is a deep and tangible link between the vines, hills and winegrowers, made up of affinities cemented, by habit, to the land. Since 1896, the Massolino family has been making wine this way, loyal to this philosophy and to the capacity for innovation in the name of tradition. In short, loyal to itself.\r\n |
