Massolino Barolo Parafada 2019
The Parafada vineyard, classified as a "1st category subzone" in Renato Ratti's primordial mapping of the 1970s, is located in the heart of the western side of the town of Serralunga d'Alba, between the towns of Lazzarito and Gabutti. It is a vineyard whose prestige is the tangible expression of the Massolino family. From this vineyard comes a Barolo of great personality, with solid, sweet tannins and olfactory tones reminiscent of tobacco and liquorice.

Colour

Deep garnet red with bright reflections evolving with ageing.

Bouquet

Deep and very broad, offering multiple aromas, among which red fruits associated with floral and spicy notes prevail. Elegant and refined thanks to Nebbiolo grapes, particularly after a few years of ageing.

Flavour

Robust, rich and austere. It perfectly reflects the great complexity of the soil in Serralunga d’Alba. A perfect wine after long ageing.

Pairing

It pairs with pasta and risotto dishes, such as risotto cooked in Barolo, and rich and tasty main courses, such as roast meats. After a few years of ageing, it also pairs with hard and half-hard cheeses as well as to be enjoyed by itself.
