MASSOLINO Parafada Barolo 2017
MASSOLINO Parafada Barolo 2017
THE WINERY – MASSOLINO
The history of the Massolinos and their wine became entwined with the history of Serralunga d’Alba in 1896, when Giovanni founded the Estate. Giovanni was the very first person to bring the electric current to the village. An enterprising, tenacious and creative man, progenitor of a family that has made the combination of inspiration and tradition something to be proud of.
-Family-
The first wine cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of the founder Giovanni, who, together with his sister Angela, extended his estate into the best soils and, in 1934, was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. At that time, Giuseppe had six children. Three of them, Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, followed in their father’s footsteps, expanding the estate with the purchase of cru vineyards which are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda.
-Philosophy-
Making wine with passion, in its land of origin, preserving the typical characteristics of the autochthonous grape varieties; being convinced that there is a deep and tangible link between the vines, hills and winegrowers, made up of affinities cemented, by habit, to the land. Since 1896, the Massolino family has been making wine this way, loyal to this philosophy and to the capacity for innovation in the name of tradition. In short, loyal to itself.
BAROLO PARAFADA
-Vineyard Parafada-
The Parafada vineyard is also located in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba. It reaches an altitude of 330 m above sea level and occupies 1.13 hectares of land. The soil consists of marly lime.
The age of the vineyard, the splendid exposure due south and the ridge protected from the wind give us grapes of absolute excellence.
-Tasting notes-
- Colour: deep garnet red with bright hues which naturally evolve with age
- Scent: intense, very complex, offering a wide range of notes; with remarkable red fruit combined with floral and spicy hints
Especially after a few years of ageing, this Barolo shows all the elegance and charm that only Nebbiolo grapes can offer - Taste: robust, rich and austere. It perfectly reflects the great complexity of the soil in Serralunga d’Alba.
- Combinations: The elegant companion for important rice and pasta dishes, such as risotto cooked in Barolo, and rich and tasty main courses, such as roast meats. After a few years of ageing, this Barolo expresses its considerable potential just as well when sipped as a wine for thought and served with hard and medium-hard cheeses.
