Massolino 2006 Parafada Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $94
Massolino’s Parafada Barolo is a stunningly beautiful wine with bold, confident aromas of black fruit, tobacco, cigar box, cherry cola, clove, nutmeg and vanilla bean. The mouthfeel is bright, lively, velvety and, generally speaking, the 2006 vintage represents a big jump over 2005.

Massolino 2005 Margheria Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $100
The nose has pretty elements of hazelnut and chocolate in a Nutella-like twist that is accented by smoke, black stone, leather and wild berries. The wine has good intensity, acidity and a streamlined mouthfeel that suggests it needs at least five more years in the bottle.

Parafada offers a bouquet of prickly fruit such as wild berry, bramble and underbrush. You’ll also recognize pretty tones of white truffle, moist earth, new leather and coffee. The wine is bright but still raw in the mouth and ends with mineral notes, a blast of menthol and an interesting powdery texture.
