Barbaresco DOCG 2020 (750 ml.) - Produttori del Barbaresco
Barbaresco by Massolino is made in Piedmont, in Serralunga d'Alba from Nebbiolo grapes grown between 320 and 360 meters above sea level, from vineyards with ages ranging between 10 and 55 years. These vineyards are able to produce wines with exceptional, delicate and elegant balance and finesse. A very persuasive and fascinating expression. Aging takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 18 months. Bottle refinement follows in special cool, dark rooms. Seductive floral notes accompanied by hints of red fruit which give the glass a very specific identity; gentler and more delicate than Barolo, but with an incredible charm. Great harmony, well-smoothed tannins and balanced acidity.

1894 is a fundamental year for Barbaresco. Before that date, the Nebbiolo grown here was sold to produce Barolo wine or vinified as a simple table wine. In 1894 Domizio Cavazza, then principal of the Royal Enological School of Alba and resident in Barbaresco, where he owned the Castle and the adjoining agricultural company, created the «Cantine Sociali di Barbaresco» for the «production of luxury and table wines»
Gathering around him nine farmers and owners, he began to make wine in the cellars of the Castle and to name the wine with the name of the town itself. It was known that Nebbiolo grown in Barbaresco had its own distinct characteristics, but Cavazza was the first to recognize this peculiarity on the label. 1894 is therefore the unofficial birth year of Barbaresco wine.
Cavazza died in 1913 and the winery was closed in the 1920s. In 1958, drawing on that tradition, Don Fiorino Marengo, then parish priest of Barbaresco, brought together nineteen farmers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco «for the qualification and guarantee of Barbaresco». Objectives fully achieved and still being pursued: thanks to the dedication and work of the winemakers who created it, Produttori del Barbaresco has long been considered among the most prestigious wineries in the area and is an example for cooperatives all over the world.

THE WINE
Barbaresco by Massolino is made in Piedmont, in Serralunga d'Alba from Nebbiolo grapes grown between 320 and 360 meters above sea level, from vineyards with ages ranging between 10 and 55 years. These vineyards are able to produce wines with exceptional, delicate and elegant balance and finesse. A very persuasive and fascinating expression. Aging takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 18 months. Bottle refinement follows in special cool, dark rooms. Seductive floral notes accompanied by hints of red fruit which give the glass a very specific identity; gentler and more delicate than Barolo, but with an incredible charm. Great harmony, well-smoothed tannins and balanced acidity.
THE COMPANY
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.
