Description

Massolino is a renowned winery, traditionally known for Barolo, that now produces Barbaresco since the 2019 vintage, offering elegant, traditional Nebbiolo wines from Neive vineyards, known for floral, red fruit, spice, and mineral notes with structured yet graceful palates and aging potential, crafted with meticulous care in large Slavoian oak barrels for classic purity. The estate’s Barbaresco is a blend from vineyards like Serraboella, Albesani, and Starderi, showcasing delicate but complex character, balancing freshness with aging capability. 

We consider this splendid Barbaresco a “best value” when compared to its peers.

“Aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, rose, wet hay and white pepper combine with a firm structure and vibrant acidity in this expressive, complex red, which is harmonious and long on the fruit- and savory-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2043. 2,100 cases made, 600 cases imported.” – 94 points, Wine Spectator

Described by Wine Advocate – 94 points.  Highlights a “super-classic” style with a slightly riper edge of fruit, featuring mineral notes and dried flowers. It is noted for having “extra textural heft and fiber” in this specific vintage
