Barolo DOCG 2021 (750 ml.) Massolino
The Barolo by Massolino is a classic example of elegance and expressiveness of Nebbiolo, produced in the prestigious vineyards of Serralunga d’Alba, on calcareous-clay soils that provide structure, depth, and longevity. The winemaking process involves long maceration on the skins and fermentation at controlled temperature, followed by aging for 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and subsequent maturation in the bottle. On the nose, it features ripe cherry, withered violet, sweet spices, tobacco, and leather; on the palate, it stands out for its intensity, silky tannins, and savory, persistent finish. Ideal with braised meats, game, white truffle, and aged cheeses.

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 WINE
The Barolo from Massolino is a classic example of elegance and expressiveness of Nebbiolo, produced in the prestigious vineyards of Serralunga d’Alba, on calcareous-clay soils that provide structure, depth, and longevity. The winemaking involves long maceration on the skins and controlled temperature fermentation, followed by aging for 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and subsequent maturation in the bottle. On the nose, it features ripe cherry, withered violet, sweet spices, tobacco, and leather; on the palate, it is distinguished by intensity, silky tannins, and a savory and persistent finish. Ideal with braised dishes, game, white truffle, and aged cheeses.
THE COMPANY
The history of the winery Massolino began in 1896, the year Giovanni founded the company in Serralunga d'Alba. However, the first real winery was built by Giuseppe, Giovanni's son, who, together with his sister Angela, expanded 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, brought the company to a turning point, thanks to the purchase of cru that have 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 winery Massolino thrives, now an essential national reference point for the production of top-quality wines.
"Making wine with passion, in its place of origin, preserving the typicity of the local grape variety with the conviction that between the vines, the hills, and the winemakers, there exists a deep and tangible bond, made of loyalty cemented by familiarity with the same places. Since 1896, the Massolino family has been producing wine this way, faithful to this philosophy and to the ability to innovate in the name of tradition. After all, faithful to itself." These are the words that describe the philosophy of the winery Massolino, a winery driven by love for its territory and its vineyards, always faithful to a family tradition that is now more than a century old.
