Just mid ruby with very broad orange-tinged rim. Quite fine nose with strawberry and cherry. Those gritty Serralunga tannins on the finish, but carries it well. Almost completely integrated acidity. Very long. Can be approached now but with food. (WS)

Light to mid rusty ruby. Rather syrupy on the nose. Hint of rusty nails. Just a bit simple. (JR)

The 2008 Barolo is quite pretty and feminine. This is a decidedly approachable, delicate Barolo. Bright red fruit, flowers and mint are some of the nuances that linger on the high-toned, slightly fleeting finish. The wine's mid-weight personality makes it accessible and delicious, even today.

The 2008 Barolo is quite pretty and feminine in this vintage. This is a decidedly approachable, delicate Barolo. Bright red fruit, flowers and mint are some of the nuances that linger on the high-toned, slightly fleeting finish. The wine’s mid-weight personality makes it accessible and delicious, even today. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. This is a beautiful set of 2008s from brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino. The 2008s here show the delicate, finessed side of the vintage. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
