Massolino
In the picturesque setting of Serralunga d'Alba, the vibrant heart of enological Piedmont, the Massolino winery stands as a bastion of classic Barolo. Founded in 1896, this winery has built its reputation on an uncompromising dedication to tradition and excellence. In a region where the morning fog gently caresses the rows of vines, Massolino lovingly and rigorously cultivates the native varieties of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, respecting the natural rhythm of the seasons and the vocation of the terroir.
The Barolo Margheria is the flagship of the production, a wine embodying the austerity and longevity typical of Serralunga. With its deep and complex character, this Barolo fascinates with its aromas of rose petals, ripe cherries, and earthy notes, evolving into tones of sweet spices and cocoa over the years. Each sip tells a story of patience and mastery, reflecting the very essence of this generous land.
Let yourself be seduced by the wines of Massolino available on Vino45: an invitation to discover the authentic spirit of Serralunga Barolo, where tradition and passion merge into an unparalleled enological experience.

THE COMPANY
The history of the winery Massolino began in 1896, the year Giovanni founded the company in Serralunga d'Alba. However, the first actual winery was built by Giuseppe, Giovanni's son, who, along with his sister Angela, expanded the property by acquiring more land and in 1934 founded the Consortium for the protection of Barolo and Barbaresco. Giovanni, Camilla, and Renato, three of Giuseppe's children, brought the company to a turning point, thanks to the purchase of crus that have now become 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 must honor a historic winery and a unique terroir, that of Serralunga d'Alba. In this picturesque medieval village, located on one of the beautiful hills of the Langhe, in the heart of the Barolo production area, the life of the Massolino winery thrives, now an essential national reference for the production of high-quality wines.
"Making wine with passion, in its territory of origin, preserving the typicity of the indigenous grape variety with the belief that among the vines, the hills, and the winemakers, there is a deep and palpable bond, made of loyalty cemented by familiarity with the same places. Since 1896, the Massolino family has produced wine this way, true to this philosophy and the ability to innovate in the sign of tradition. After all, true 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 a century old.
