Massolino Barolo Parafada 2021 5L

Massolino Barolo Parafada 2021 is a striking single-vineyard Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba, known for its lifted floral profile and savory herbal edge. Sourced from the Parafada MGA, it stands apart for its botanical character, mineral tension, and the firm structure that makes Barolo from this site so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the deep, concentrated color expected of Barolo, with a polished yet serious presence. The nose leans toward flowers, dried herbs, cassis, wild cherry, and plum, all underscored by a distinctive iron-rich note reminiscent of rusted nails. On the palate, the wine is structured, tight, and energetic, with vivid acidity and taut tannins giving it remarkable lift and precision. The herbal-spiced, mineral-driven finish suggests excellent aging potential, with the 2021 vintage likely to develop beautifully over time.

Production
Barolo Parafada comes from the Serralunga d'Alba area in Piedmont, where the MGA site’s soils and exposure help shape a wine of firm structure and savory complexity. The vineyard’s terroir contributes to its floral, herbaceous profile and characteristic mineral, iron-like nuance, while careful harvesting and traditional vinification preserve the purity and tension of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich Piedmontese dishes, braised beef, game, truffle risotto, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant for at least 2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open and soften.
