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.
