Barolo, Massolino, Piedmont, Italy ‘04
Grapes: Nebbiolo
Each: £26.50
Good classic stuff. Franco Massolino heads the current generation of a family that have been working these vineyards since 1894. Bucking the all too prevalent trend of change for change’s sake, Franco has implemented only restrained fine tuning to family techniques for the modern world. The family’s vineyards at the heart of Barolo around Seralunga d’Alba produce grapes that demand traditional winemaking techniques and reward with long lived beauties that grow into themselves.
Wine true to the traditional style and all the better for it.
