This is a solid set of wines from brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino. The 2011s have come together quite nicely since I last tasted them from tank just before bottling. Only the Riserva Vigna Rionda remains in barrel at this point. Massolino is among the growers who have moved towards green harvesting later than in the past, while yields are a bit less exaggeratedly low than they have been in the recent past. Overall, the Massolino Barolos present a refined, contemporary expression of traditionalism. The Barolos are all aged in cask. In top vintages, the Massolino Barolos are perfumed, silky and highly expressive.

It's great to see the Massolino brothers back on track after their lackluster 2009s. The estate's 2010s are among the best wines I have ever tasted here. There is just a little bit more clarity and a little more nuance in the wines than in the past. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Vigna Rionda, which was bottled earlier than was the custom in the past. The Rionda is stunning, but it won't be released for another few years. In the meantime, there is plenty to enjoy in these current releases.
