About this wine

Parafada is a warm, south-facing slope in Serralunga with sandy-limestone soils that give concentrated, perfumed wines. The 2021 opens with dark cherry, blackberry, violet, licorice and tobacco, plus graphite and spice. The palate is full-bodied and enveloping, with dense fruit, abundant but polished tannins and a very long, savoury finish. It is clearly built for long ageing and sits stylistically between Margheria’s mineral tension and Vigna Rionda’s nobility.

Massolino

Massolino is a cornerstone estate in Serralunga, combining traditional Barolo virtues with a polished, accessible style. From Barolo Classico to crus like Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda, the wines show depth, savoury complexity and the powerful tannic backbone typical of the village. Their broader range – from Dolcetto to Moscato – is crafted with the same precision and reliability.
