Barolo 2014 Massolino red wine
Ruby red with large garnet shadows.
The nose is fruity with aromas of ripe fruit such as black cherry and plum. Follow the currant and the raspberry and among the flowers the violet. There is no shortage of undergrowth, with truffles and ideas of pickled olives. Some evolving spices fill the picture of an olfactory prospect always of every respect. The rainy year has not affected at all, indeed, paradoxically, has donated uncommon facets.
Also on the palate it is confirmed crystalline race foal. The tannins to excel on the other hardnesses, well defined and correctly pungent, because endemically present in the vine and in the terroir of Serralunga. The consistency of the sip is truly remarkable for a set of softness that bring the balance into balance.
Like all Baroli has the ability to grow old happily, giving year after year ever different emotions. The memory of oneself is very persistent.
Accompany all dishes of game and stewed beef. Risotto with Alba white truffle. But like all good wines it adapts to various combinations.
