Massolino – Barolo Parafada – 2016

The history of the company began in 1896 when Giovanni, a tenacious and enterprising man, decided to produce wine believing in the profound affinity between the vine and the territory, thus investing in native vines. He follows his son Giuseppe who founded the consortium for the protection of Barolo and Barbaresco. Now in its fourth generation, the winery owns 36 hectares of vineyards and is internationally recognized despite the small quantities produced thanks to the purchase of some of the most suitable vineyards in the entire Barolo area. Among these, Vigna Rionda stands out, considered the cru of excellence in Serralunga d’Alba, thanks to the marly limestone soil it gives us impressive wines with a long aging potential. Parafada, a superior category cru still in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, gives us wines with energy and an impressive presence. Massolino has owned just over a hectare since the seventies in this fantastic appellation, old vines combined with optimal exposures and soils rich in marly limestone gives us a Barolo of absolute excellence. A wine of great potential to forget in the cellar and enjoy it without haste.
