The excellent vineyard holdings of the winery now include Bricco Rocche in Castiglione Falletto, Cannubi San Lorenzo in Barolo, Brunate in La Morra, Prapò in Serralunga d'Alba and Bussia in Monforte d'Alba.

Critical Acclaim:
*SUCKLING 95 POINTS*:
"Ripe red berries on the nose, together with some bitter-orange marmalade and spice. If you dig deep down, there’s an emerging note of truffle. Lovely, nascent complexity that’s also reflected on the medium-to full-bodied palate, which is tightly packed with all the goodies that the nose promised. The tannins firm up a bit at the end and need to soften a little to get full enjoyment. But so tempting now! Try from 2024." (08/22)

Critical Acclaim:
*ROBERT PARKER 96 POINTS*:
"This is a special treat. The Ceretto 2019 Barbaresco Asili (made with organic fruit) shows a tight or linear quality that is specific to this growing site. Aromas of dark fruit, blood orange and pencil shaving are even more pinpoint and focused in this beautiful vintage. This is a wine of enormous depth and length." (ML)(08/22)
*DECANTER 95 POINTS* :
"Asili, in my opinion, remains the most representative wine of the Ceretto family. Focused on the elegance of the MGA, this shows fresh watermelon fruit to the fore, with poised, restrained strawberry, dried flowers and liquorice root wrapped up in ripe tannins and lifted acidity. Concentration, weight and balance make this a wine for the long haul. Don't miss it. Drinking Window 2022 - 2039."
*VINOUS 95 POINTS*:
" The 2019 Barbaresco Asili is ample, creamy and resonant. All the signatures of this site come through in a Barbaresco of breadth and resonance. Even so, the 2019 remains light on its feet. There is plenty of depth and persistence, but it is expressed in more of an understated manner. It's a beautiful wine." (AG)(09/21)
*SUCKLING 94 POINTS*:
"Pretty nose of rose hips, raspberries, flowers and cloves. It’s medium-bodied with a fine, firm tannin frame and vibrant acidity. Precise and clear-cut. Tight for now. From organically grown grapes. Try in 2024." (10/22)

Critical Acclaim:
94 points Wine Advocate:
The 2006 Barolo Bricco Rocche is a touch firmer than the Brunate. Flowers, spices and dark red fruit cover the palate with lovely density as this beautifully balanced, articulate Barolo opens up in the glass. Today the Bricco Rocche is quite graceful, but I would not be surprised to see it put on additional weight in bottle, as so often happens with Barolos from the village of Castiglione Falletto. There is plenty of vineyard expression in the glass, likely the result of a more measured use of French oak. (AG)
(2/2010)
93 points James Suckling:
This is round and velvety, with plenty of dried fruits and cedar. Full and chewy. Needs to soften with time. I am really taken with the depth of fruit in this young Barolo.
(1/2011)
93 points Wine Spectator:
An iron edge details the cherry, licorice and oak spice flavors in this smooth red. There's fine support from dense tannins, with a balanced finish and fine grip. (BS)
(11/2011)
92 points Int'l Wine Cellar:
Good full, deep red-ruby. Serious aromas of currant, camphor, dried flowers and tobacco; a classic expression of Castiglione Falletto. Broad and sweet but with lovely vinosity framing the flavors of chocolatey currant, spices, camphor and rose petal. Closed today but already quite suave. Finishes with serious palate-saturating breadth and big, broad tannins. This is a strong set of cru bottlings. (ST)

"Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs. I love the clarity and the tautness on the palate, with elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo etherealness and power at the same time. Already approachable. Drink now or hold." (10/22)

"The Massolino 2018 Barolo offers a classic interpretation of Serralunga d'Alba with big structure, ample but contained power and lots of black fruit and licorice. This 85,000-bottle production ages in large oak casks for 24 months, and this process further integrates the wine's pretty texture." (ML)(06/22)

Description: Brilliant ruby. Wonderful nose, wide and inviting, with notes of ripe wild raspberry and strawberry. Lots of ripe fruit on the palate, characterized by waves of fine tannins and a very long finish. A fantastic vineyard which combines the potency of our lands with the elegance and harmony generated by the sandy percentage of the soil.

"The 2017 Barolo Margheria is a compelling, multi-faceted Barolo loaded with personality. Sage, mint, lavender, spice, iron and red/purplish berry fruit grace this firm, classically built Barolo. This translucent, taut Barolo has so much to offer, but it also needs time to soften. Readers will find a terrific example of Margheria."(AG)(01/21)
*WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS*:
"Taut and linear, this Barolo walks the line between red berry fruits and savory, herbal elements. Underlining it all is a backbone of iron and dense, fine-grained tannins.

Tax: Included in case price
Bottle Per Case : 6 x 750 ml
Alcohol: 14.5%
Winery: Massolino (Piedmont)
Average age of vines: 40 years.
First year of production: 2007
Description: Brilliant ruby with a subtle garnet profile. Very intense nose, with notes of tobacco, licorice and ripe wild raspberries. The palate is precise and direct, with notes of dark fruit and full, enveloping and persistent tannins. Earthy finish. Ethereal and enveloping bouquet with intense and persistent notes of sweet spices, sandalwood, tobacco and leather.
Vinification and ageing: traditional Barolo with long fermentation and maceration in oak fermenters (“tini”) at temperatures around 30°C; the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for up to 30 months before being left to mature in bottle for about a year in special dark, cool cellars. The excellent south-easterly/south-westerly exposure of the vineyard situated on the crest of the hill, in the Parussi sub-zone, guarantees the production of excellent quality grapes. The very calcareous soil conveys a remarkable structure with quite strong tannins.
Flavour: great structure. Remarkable tannin which softens with time and make it a perfect wine also for ageing. Its very long finish is typical of Barolos from Castiglione Falletto. It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C.
Parussi is the first Barolo made from grapes grown outside Serralunga d’Alba, in another fantastic area: Castiglione Falletto. The traditional vinification and ageing processes, which are the same as those used for its “Barolo brothers” from Serralunga d’Alba, highlight the well-known capacity of Nebbiolo grapes to deliver Barolos with different fascinating
characteristics reflecting the changes in the microclimate and soil the grapes were grown in. Perfect with the rich, traditional cuisine of the region, stewed meats and medium- long matured cheeses.

*GARDINI 98 POINTS*
*VINOUS 95 POINTS*:
"The 2017 Barolo Parussi is a classic Castiglione Falletto Barolo. Sweet floral notes and bright, red berry fruit open first as the 2017 shows off its considerable charms. Medium in body and silky (for the year), with exceptional balance, the 2017 Parussi is stellar. This is an unbelievably classy Barolo." (AG) (01/21)
*ROBERT PARKER 94 POINTS*
"With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Massolino 2017 Barolo Parussi is a standout in this portfolio of wines mainly from Serralunga d'Alba. Thanks to its protective positioning at the center of the appellation where it draws upon the soils and exposures of the surrounding areas, Castiglione Falletto performs very nicely in a vintage that saw extreme weather with frost and drought. What the Parussi brings to the table is more focus and sharpness, with red fruits, crushed rose, cooling limestone mineral and some dried mint."
*WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS*
"This is supple and juicy, offering cherry, strawberry, floral and tea flavors. Elements of mineral and tobacco chime in as this builds nicely to the long, energetic finish. Shows excellent balance and potential. Best from 2024 through 2042. 620 cases made." (BS)(04/22)

Winery: Massolino (Piedmont)
Colour: bright garnet red.
Average age of vines: up to 50 years.
First year of production: 1982
Description:
The most prominent element in the history of our estate, Vigna Rionda is one of the most sought-after and prestigious crus in the area. This prestige goes beyond the microclimate and soil: something happens on that hill and that something gives life to Vigna Rionda Riserva, a truly unique wine. Its bouquet reveals multiple broad and enveloping sensations, ranging from those of the early years, focused primarily on red fruits and flowers, to the more evolved sensations of brushwood, tobacco and spices that develop with age. This wine is a harmony of captivating nuances that are released and evolve slowly in the glass.
Vinification and ageing: traditional Barolo, with long fermentation and maceration in oak vats at a temperature of around 30°C; aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 42 months, followed by a further 24 months in the bottle.
Notes: the soil and microclimate of this hillside allow the production of exceptionally structured and complex wines. Traditional vinification enhances the qualities of this Cru, respecting the natural predisposition for long ageing, while emphasizing the elegance and depth that only this vineyard can deliver.
Palate: Vigna Rionda is a unique Barolo, impossible to describe in just a few lines and hard to compare with others, even those from the Serralunga area. A wine capable of complexity, longevity and structure, which come together with unparalleled elegance. A little patience is required for it to reach its full potential, which is why it stays in our cellars until its sixth year, the only wine in our range to do so, when it is released as a Riserva.
