justerini & brooks tasting note

The Massara is commanding in 2019. Imbued with dark fruits cloaked in a rich structure, it offers a lot and after the first taste proves really quite giving for a wine of this stature. Red plums, blood orange and ferrous notes intermingle with fresh compost, sweet, glossy dark fruits with a bite of stony-citrus like acidity. Impressive. A real shape shifter.

critic reviews

93.5/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2019 Barolo Massara is a powerful, austere wine. Deep and imposing, with terrific depth, the Massara offers up an intriguing mix of red fruit, iron, game, tobacco, incense, white pepper and dried flowers. The Massara is a wild, animalistic Barolo imbued with tons of character. Give the tannins a bit of time to soften. There's a lot of wine here.
