Barolo DOCG 'Margheria' 2020 (750 ml.) Massolino
Massolino’s Barolo ‘Margheria’ comes from the historic cru of the same name in Serralunga d’Alba, grown on calcareous-clay soils rich in minerals that enhance the wine’s depth and structure. The Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from old vines, are hand-harvested, then undergo a slow fermentation with extended skin maceration to extract maximum aroma and tannin. Aging takes place over 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by at least 12 months in bottle, ensuring balance and complexity. The bouquet reveals notes of ripe cherry, tobacco, sweet spices, and licorice, while the palate is full and enveloping, with dense yet elegant tannins and a long, balsamic finish. A wine of remarkable longevity, perfect with braised meats, game, roasted dishes, and aged cheeses.

Massolino
The history of the Massolino winery begins in 1896, the year in which Giovanni founded the company in Serralunga d'Alba. The first actual cellar, however, was built by Giuseppe, Giovanni's son, who together with his sister Angela extended the property by annexing other lands and in 1934 founded the Barolo and Barbaresco Protection Consortium. Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, three of Giuseppe's children, led the company to a turning point, thanks to the purchase of crus that are now true legends among enthusiasts: Vigna Rionda, Margheria and Parafada.
Today the company is led by brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino, assisted by their uncle Renato and Giovanni Angeli. Their work condenses the experience of an entire generation and the ambition of those who know they have to give credit to a historic winery and a unique terroir, that of Serralunga d'Alba. In this picturesque medieval village, located on one of the splendid hills of the Langhe, in the heart of the Barolo production area, the life of the Massolino winery comes alive, now an essential national point of reference for the production of very high quality wines.
"Making wine with passion, in its territory of origin, preserving the typical nature of the native vine in the belief that between the vines, the hills and the winemakers there exists a deep and palpable bond, made of loyalty cemented by custom to the same places. Since 1896 the The Massolino family produces wine this way, faithful to this philosophy and the ability to innovate in the name of tradition. Ultimately, faithful to itself." These are the words that describe the philosophy of the Massolino winery, a winery animated by love for its territory and its vineyards, always faithful to a family tradition that is now more than centuries old.
