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…

Tasted on January 28, 2024. #DailyWine #wine #nebbiolo #Barolo #Piedmont #Parusso In the continuum of traditional vs new style Barolo, this is definitely on the new style end, close to the extreme. I already had a few bottles of this, but I haven’t reviewed it yet, so here it is. Dry red wine, 14.5% alcohol.…

Tasted on January 9, 2024. #DailyWine #wine #nebbiolo #Barolo #Piedmont #Scavino A phenomenally rich and well balanced Barolo. I popped this bottle for my son’s birthday. He turned 7 (and was born in 2017). I already reviewed the entry level Barolo from this producer. This is their vineyard designated Barolo “Prapo”. Dry red wine, 14.5%…

![2019 Mauro Molino Barolo [Rating: 5/5 | $35]](https://d-nardi.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/img_6450.jpg?w=1024)
Keywords: red wine; Nebbiolo; Piedmont region. Can good Barolo be relatively inexpensive? Yes. Especially if it comes from a good vintage, as in 2019. Very light pink ruby color; so pale that it seems it could be a dark rose’ wine. Intense nose, with red fruit (raspberry), flowers, and a hint of vegetable. In the…

2018 Scavino Barolo [Rating: 3/5 | $42]
Barolo’s are not inexpensive, but this wine was relatively affordable so I took a chance to try it. The 2018 vintage for Barolo is not regarded as top tier. If anything, it is considered a lesser vintage, with wines that are in my opinion a touch too high in alcohol (some reaching 15%). Ruby color,…
