Description

Questo Barolo incarna la storia e la maestria dell'azienda, derivante da un vigneto unico di circa 45 anni piantato su un terreno straordinario, ricco di marne e argilla.

Presenta un colore rosso granato, arricchito da riflessi aranciati. Il profumo caratteristico, etereo e gradevole, si manifesta con un'intensità che promette un'esperienza sensoriale affascinante. In bocca, questo Barolo si presenta asciutto, pieno, fresco e vellutato. I tannini morbidi lo rendono già piacevole in giovane età, mentre la sua armonia complessiva promette un ottimo invecchiamento nel tempo.

Ottimo per accompagnare secondi di carne e formaggi stagionati dal gusto forte, creando una armonia di sapori che delizierà il palato.

Winery history

The Burlotto family has been tied to Verduno for generations: the family's wine production dates back to the early 20th century with Andrea Burlotto. Over time his children carried on the work in the vineyard and cellar; in more recent years Gian Carlo Burlotto has relaunched the estate, joined by his son Gianluca and, since 2022, by his daughter Claudia. The name Cascina Massara refers to the cru from which some of the estate's historic wines originate.

Production philosophy

An approach centered on the connection to the land: manual care of the vineyards, attention to grape quality, and respect for the characteristics of the cru. The aim is to convey in the bottle the expression of Verduno's soil and microclimate.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located on the hills of Verduno, with the 'Massara' cru considered one of the most prestigious sites in the Barolo district; clay-limestone soils that influence the wines' structure and aromas.
