Massolino Barolo Parafada 2021 MG

Massolino Barolo Parafada 2021 is a distinctive single-vineyard Barolo from Serralunga d’Alba, offering a more floral and herbal expression of Nebbiolo than many of its neighbors. Parafada is prized for its tension, structure, and unmistakable mineral edge, making it a compelling example of one of Barolo’s most characterful sites.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is likely to show the classic Barolo garnet hue with youthful brightness. On the nose, it opens with floral lift and a botanical profile of dried herbs, notably oregano, alongside blackcurrant, wild cherry, plum, and a subtle iron-like note that adds complexity and site character. The palate is structured and energetic, with firm tannins, vivid acidity, and a precise, stretched-out feel. Dark and red fruit tones are framed by herbal nuances and a savory, mineral finish. This is a Barolo built for cellaring and should gain depth, harmony, and nuance with age over the coming decade and beyond.

Production
Parafada is an MGA site in Serralunga d’Alba, one of Barolo’s most respected communes, known for producing powerful, long-lived Nebbiolo wines with firm structure and pronounced minerality. The vineyard’s terroir contributes to the wine’s floral-herbal lift and its distinctive iron-rich, savory undertone, while careful harvesting and traditional vinification preserve the site’s tension and aromatic detail.

Food & Serving
Serve this Barolo at 16–18°C to allow its aromatics and structure to fully unfold. Decanting is recommended, especially in its youth, to soften the tannins and open the wine’s layered bouquet. It pairs beautifully with braised beef, truffle pasta, game, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses.
