Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo 2013

One of the best deals in the wine world? Buying the entry-level wines of a top-shelf producer. Massolino fits the bill here. As one of Barolo’s oldest estates, they possess the deep sense of know-how and respect for terroir that preclude the crafting of fine wine. A prestigious winery like Massolino also has excellent vineyard sites, and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. Suddenly the entry-level bargain trick begins to make sense… The 2013 Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo drinks above many of its counterparts. This wine makes perfect sense for those who enjoy full-bodied, fruit-forward, bold Nebbiolo that is ready to drink today. Start here and you’ll want to work your way up Massolino’s Barolo ladder: The first taste isn’t quite free, but it’s still an irresistible price for such a well-made wine. – Daniel
