Castello di Verduno - Barolo Massara 2017

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Castello di Verduno is an historic Piemontese estate that makes classic Barolo and Barbaresco from prime vineyard sites in both appellations. The winery is located in Verduno, the northernmost commune of Barolo. This township has flown under the radar for many years but recently has been gaining more and more attention. Most notable is the Monvigliero cru which has grown to become one of the most prized bottlings from Barolo due to its unique vineyard 'signature'.

The winery’s philosophy is to produce wines that speak of place in a classic way and are also sustainable and protect the land. As such, they practice organic farming and are meticulous both in the vineyard and in the cellar using minimal SO2 and vinify with indigenous yeast. Their wines are firmly traditional in style though never rustic; in fact just the opposite, they retain a rare elegance and purity.

The 2017 Barolo Massara is a very pretty wine from Castello di Verduno. Sweet floral notes, red-toned fruit and mid-weight structure give the 2017 a brighter profile and a more gracious feel relative to the darker 2016. This mid-weight, translucent Barolo has plenty to offer. I would give it a few years in bottle.
