Producer Massolino
Region, Country Barolo, Italy
Bottle Size 750ml
Product Code 26345-750

Planted in 1957, Parafada was the Massolino family's first prime parcel in Serralunga and is still home to their oldest vines (66 years old). Located between Gabutti and Lazzarito, the 1.2-hectare parcel rises steeply from 300 to 340 metres and faces due south, catching the full face of the sun. The aspect, old vines and dense clay/marl/lime-infused soils (Formazione di Lequio) produce a denser, more powerful wine than Margheria. Fermented exclusively in large oak fermenters and aged exclusively in large casks. Typically, the Massolino Barolo cru that requires the most time, the 2022 is already drinking beautifully!

Reviews

“The 2022 Barolo Parafada is a sensual, open-knit wine. Sweet red cherry, cedar, pipe tobacco and mint open with some coaxing. The Parafada is distinguished by its soft contours and exceptional balance within the context of the year. Older vines confer notable breadth, which builds through to the expansive, resonant finish.”
94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“Just mid ruby and a little more evolved than Margheria, and with orange tinges. A little voluptuous on the nose with concentrated red fruit, but still not entirely open. Just a suggestion of menthol. Expressive raspberry fruit on the palate with lots of fine, chewy tannins. Long and deep and with plenty of supple acidity. Already approachable.”
