Barolo Massolino Vintage 2015

About the wine

Massolino (formally Azienda Agricola Vigna Rionda) is a Piedmont winery best known for its Barolo DOCG wines made from the Nebbiolo variety. The 23 hectares (57 acres) of estate vines are almost all entirely in the Barolo sub-region Serralunga d'Alba. Nebbiolo is, unsurprisingly, the most important grape variety. Five Barolo wines are made, as well as a Langhe Nebbiolo. The winery was founded in 1896 by Giovanno Massolino and remains family-owned and -operated. His son and daughter built the first cellar in the 1930s and were involved in foundation of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbarest Alba Langhe e Dogliano. This organization promotes the regional viticultural areas and was especially important before national ratification of the formal appellations.The 2015 vintage produced fruit forward wines and this is delicious now, but with the backbone to last.
