2019 Massolino Barolo [Rating: 3.5/5 | $51]

Tasted on February 4, 2024. #DailyWine #Wine #Nebbiolo #Piedmont #Barolo #Massolino

Dry red wine, 14% alcohol. Medium opacity, pomegranate color. Medium intensity nose, with an initially very strong smell of detergent. Behind that, there’s cherries and dust. In the palate, (fortunately) that off smell is not present, leaving pleasant aromas of pure cherry and plum to show off. The mouthfeel is smooth, medium weight, with a persistent prune flavor in the long finish. The fruit concentration and purity is intriguing. After some time (more than usual), the strong detergent smell fades away, in favor of red fruit and plum.
