Massolino Description
Massolino Barolo dazzles with a classic garnet-red hue, its intensity shifting from vintage to vintage. Thanks to grapes sourced from a mix of vineyards, the bouquet opens with an irresistible range of aromas—spicy, floral, and delicately fruity all at once. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, structured character that speaks proudly of its terroir and ages beautifully. For peak enjoyment, decant and serve at 18–20°C, then pair it with hearty red meats, flavorful game, or anything dressed in luxurious truffle. It also shines alongside fresh egg pasta with rich meat sauce, creamy risotto, and savory cow’s or goat’s milk cheeses—an exciting lineup to elevate every bite.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
In the light cream-colored label, the 2019 Barolo is elegant and contained, showing a very focused and linear style that makes a great impression and awakens the senses. There is wild cherry, blue flower and crushes stone backed by balanced freshness and tannins. The wine ages in large Slavonian oak casks for 30 months, and 85,000 bottles were released.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This red straddles the line between power and elegance, featuring delicate flavors of strawberry, cherry and rose hip, plus notes of earth, tar and iron. Finishes with more power and the grip of refined tannins, offering terrific balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2043. 7,080 cases made, 2,400 cases imported.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Lots of lavender, raspberry and orange blossom aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a polished finish. Shows lovely drive and balance. Clear and fine.
Antonio Galloni: 92 Points
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. It is also probably the most reticent straight Barolo I tasted for this report.
Decanter: 90 Points
Massolino classically ages all their Barolos in large Slavonian oak vessels. Fully focused on rose and violet, with fresh watermelon and a citrussy note enhanced by cinnamon and rhubarb, this Barolo is deliciously complex and classic for Serralunga, with crisp acidity and firm tannins wrapped up in flowery notes, leading to a dusty finish.
