Franco Massolino has a wonderful respect for the traditions of Barolo, yet manages to combine these with a forward-looking outlook to his winemaking. The resultant wines are therefore nicely accessible when young. His 2008 is a classic example of this, combining wonderful power with a lightness and elegance that you can only find in the best Barolo. Medium bodied with a fine, fresh tannic structure and great length. It just needs the best piece of beef or game you can lay your hands on!
