Verduno. Just mid ruby. quite a gorgeous earthy minerally raspberry nose with dark-spice touches. An elegant raspberry and cherry palate with a thick layer of sandy tannins. Not enormously concentrated but with captivating elegance. (WS)

The 2018 Barolo Massara is impressive. Deep and yet weightless, the Massara captures much of the best this tricky vintage has to offer. Wild cherry, rose petal, mint, dried herbs, orange peel and exotic spice notes abound. This layered Verduno Barolo is superb and also distinctive.
