James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2012)

This has a beautiful fresh blackberry and mineral character on the nose. Some smoked meat as well. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a persistent finish that lasts for minutes. Better in 2020.

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2012)

Massolino's 2012 Barolo Parussi is a dark and savory expression that offers black-fruit intensity. Fruit is from the Castiglione Falletto township (as opposed to Serralunga d'Alba where the winery is based). In this vintage, you could almost mistake it for Serralunga d'Alba, given the power and textural richness it offers. Smoke and tobacco converge on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 98 Points (2010)

This bold wine is yet another impressive 2010 Barolo from Massolino. Powerfully structured, it delivers succulent black cherry flavors layered with black pepper, sage, tobacco, licorice, balsamic notes and grilled herbs. It's superbly balanced but has youthful tension and an abundance of energy so give it time to fully develop. *Cellar Selection* (KO) (10/2014)

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2010)

Freshly cut flowers, red berries, cinnamon and mint meld together in the 2010 Barolo Parussi. It's interesting to taste the Parussi next to the other wines in the range, as it is the only wine here made from Castiglione Falletto fruit. The 2010 has lovely aromatic complexity but it remains a bit compact and essentially medium in body. (AG) (1/2014)

Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2017

DCT

The “Vigna Rionda” vineyard is in one of the best positions in Serralunga: when Giovanni and Renato Massolino decided to buy it, they exchanged it for a larger vineyard. It produces a powerful, concentrated wine, suitable for long ageing.

Barolo 2019

Franco Massolino has done a wonderful job of marrying change with a respect for tradition. Grapes are sourced from several vineyards in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, from up to 60-year old vines, resulting in structured, robust and long-lived Barolos.
