Castello di Verduno Barolo Massara, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019

Barolo Massara, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 is a beautifully classic single-vineyard Barolo from one of Verduno’s most respected historic estates. Sourced from the prized Massara cru, this traditionally made Nebbiolo captures the finesse and perfume Verduno is known for while adding impressive depth and structure. The outstanding 2019 vintage shows layers of red cherry, wild raspberry, dried rose, orange peel, spice, iron, and earthy minerality with refined tannins and a long, graceful finish. Elegant yet serious, this is a superb Barolo for collectors and lovers of traditional Piedmont.

"The 2019 Barolo Massara is a powerful, austere wine. Deep and imposing, with terrific depth, the Massara offers up an intriguing mix of red fruit, iron, game, tobacco, incense, white pepper and dried flowers. The Massara is a wild, animalistic Barolo imbued with tons of character. Give the tannins a bit of time to soften. There's a lot of wine here." Vinous 93+
