Massolino Barolo 2016

A classic Piedmont Barolo from Massolino’s estate vineyards. The 2016 vintage delivers bright acidity and firm, refined tannins with age-worthy structure. Aromas pair red cherry, rose, and tar with subtle herbal and mineral notes. On the palate, red fruit flavors mingle with spice and a mineral backbone, finishing long and precise. A versatile match for braised beef, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses. Drinkable now with decanting, and will reward cellaring for years. Tasting notes: - Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet edges - Nose: Red cherry, raspberry, rose, violet; tar, graphite, and spice - Palate: Dry, high acidity, firm but refined tannins; flavors of red fruit, licorice, and subtle spice; mineral undertones; balanced with understated oak - Body/Texture: Medium-full with an elegant, structured mouthfeel - Finish: Long and persistent; evolving notes of leather and tobacco as it ages
