Massolino Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba DOCG 2020

This is the third year that Massolino's Barolo wines fermented in large wooden casks (the wines used to ferment in concrete). While the Cru wines below now ferment exclusively in oak-which Giovanni Angeli credits with imparting even more finesse-half of this Barolo still fermented in concrete. This cuvée spent around 20 days on skins, and the final blend matured for 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks. It is an exceptional release for a wine that is, as always, wonderful value and an archetypical Serralunga Barolo.

"Lustrous mid ruby. Richness of fruit on the nose with a hint of gingerbread. With aeration opens up to savoury cherry, if still a little subdued. Supple, suave cherry fruit with superfine, long, chewy tannins. A pretty wine." 17+ points, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com
