AUCTION: Massolino Barolo Trio

"This offer comes from VinConnect, a new business that works with top European wineries to offer mailing lists enabling them to sell direct to private clients in the U.S. More information can be found at http://www.vinconnect.com. It’s free to join, we’ve got 10 great winery partners and are growing fast, and people ought to check us out and sign up.

In honor of BerserkerDay, we are offering a very special lot from one of our premier winery partners, Massolino, a top Barolo producer. Massolino’s mailing list was one of the first we launched several months ago, and they made their initial mailing list offer to their members in November. At that time, we at VinConnect purchased and set aside several bottles for special occasions and other events, and Berserkers Day seems like as good as any to break some out.

So we’ve have put together a special offer that spans Massolino’s cru Barolos from the outstanding 2007 vintage. About Massolino’s 2007s, Antonio Galloni called them “radiant, intensely perfumed and totally seductive, yet not at all heavy, in a style that offers the textural richness of a warm vintage with the aromatics of a cool year. (The) 2007s are ripe, flashy wines that are showing fabulously well young.”

Our offer is a 3-bottle auction lot that includes:

  • one bottle of Massolino Barolo Margheria 2007
  • one bottle of Massolino Barolo Parafada 2007
  • one bottle of Massolino Barolo Parussi 2007

Bidding starts at $150, and proceeds above that number will be split with Wine Berserkers"

So for this auction, as it states, start at $150, and put your bid in a separate post - just be sure your bid is more than the one preceding yours, or it won’t count.

Ends at 8pm Pacific Time

I’ll start it off at $150.
