Barolo DOCG Parafada is perfect for long ageing, capable of astonishing us with its surprising evolution. Elegant, refined, austere. Vinified in tanks, aged in large barrels.

Left Red Wine

The full name here is Massolino-Vigna Rionda. If you have holdings in one of the very best Crus in Barolo why not tack it on to your name?

The winery, in fact, is blessed with vines pushing nearly 60 years of age in the sweetest part of Vigna Rionda, and they make only a Riserva from it. It is very special wine, and strangely off the radar, though this could one day becoming a highly-treasured trophy.

They also produce Parafada – a classic Serralunga – and a Margheria, where sandy soils echo the more elegant wines of the western communes. Some Barolo purists were turned off Massolino when they produced the Parafada in barriques – one of the few Serralunga's to be done in this style – but they ended that experiment in 2006 and now everything is made in a classic style, although there is more of an emphasis here on accessibility and fruit purity than at the hard-core traditionalists.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Barolo Parafada is a wine of tremendous inner strength, as if all of its energy is focused inwards. Dark cherry, smoke, leather, gravel, scorched earth and licorice slowly come alive in the glass. Dense, potent and muscular, the 2019 offers tons of textural intensity and brooding, virile power. It is fascinating to taste next to the Margheria, which is a bit more aromatic and nuanced, while the Parafada is all muscle. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting." -Vinous

"With fruit from 60- to 65-year-old vines in Serralunga d'Alba, the Massolino 2019 Barolo Parafada is vibrant and bright with very pretty aromas of wild cherry, blue flower, iron ore and rusty nail. The wine displays very pretty intensity but remains balanced all the while. There is a lot of precision and definition in this well-structured Nebbiolo. Be patient with this wine."
