Tasting Notes
The wine comes from the Massolino's 2.2 hectare Barbera vineyard in Serralunga where the vines are between 10 and 35 year of age. It has a super-sexy, perfumed, pulpy, open, mouth-filling yet fresh and ultra refined personality with lots of fruit pure, blueberry and brown spice notes. Matured solely in stainless steel tanks, this is a bright, refreshing red that leaps out the glass.
Producer
Massolino
Founded in 1896, Massolino Winery, is based in and around the town of Serralunga, one of the prime sub-zones of the Barolo DOC. Massolino’s vineyards occupy some of the prime “crus” on the slopes of this sub zone, including Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda.
The Massolino wines walk the tightrope between the old world and the new - pure, precise and vibrant yet distinctly regional - and they are well priced in comparison with the other top producers of the region.
