Barolo Massara DOCG - Castello di Verduno

The powerful Barolo Massara from Castello di Verduno shimmers a dense ruby red in the glass. At the edges, the color transitions to garnet red. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. The first nose of the Barolo Massara is flattering with notes of plums, black cherries and morello cherries. The fruity parts of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel ageing and even more fruity, balsamic nuances.

The Castello di Verduno Barolo Massara is pleasantly dry for wine lovers. This red wine is never coarse or austere, as you would expect from a wine from the Icon wine segment. On the finish, this wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region, which ages well, finally impresses with its beautiful length. There are again hints of morello cherry and plum.

After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by ageing for several months in oak barrels.
