Castello di Verduno - Barolo Massara 2019

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 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.
