As you might expect from a 17ha small, old family estate located in the centre
of Serralunga d'Alba, Fratelli Franco and Roberto Massolino have shaped a
Barolo which combines classical tar and roses flavours while couched in an
iron-fist, velvet glove structure of Serralunga (think good Clos de Vougeot).
Drink from 2014.
(David Berry Green, BBR Buyer)
The 2004 Barolo is a classically-built wine redolent of perfumed, sweet fruit,
violets, spices, tar, new leather, menthol and herbs. This medium-bodied, firm
Barolo offers outstanding elegance and purity. It is a terrific effort at this
level. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.
