Massolino, Barolo Parafada other_regions The Villero is a balancedThe 2004 Barolo Parafada is the softest and most open knit of Massolino's Barolos.

Crushed flowers, licorice and spices meld into a core of supple, nicely layered fruit. The 2004 should drink well for at least another decade. This is a strong showing, especially considering Massolino
