The Massolino family decided not to bottle separate crus in 2018 and to use all that fruit to bring a really good Barolo Classico to the market. The result is that this Barolo Classico has become a really beautiful wine that testifies to the will to bottle only great quality under their label.
Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2018 Barolo is the only Barolo Massolino bottled in this vintage. Aromatically expressive and gracious, the 2018 offers lovely translucence in the mid-weight style of the year. Sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco, spice, licorice and rose petal all open effortlessly in the glass. Naturally, the 2018 doesn’t have the depth of the single vineyards or the best vintages, but it is an absolutely lovely wine to savor over the next 10-15 years.” 92/100
