Barbera d'Alba DOC 2024 (750 ml.) Massolino
The Barbera d'Alba by Massolino is made exclusively from Barbera grapes, grown in the hilly vineyards of the Langhe at around 300 meters above sea level, on calcareous-clay soils that promote balance between structure and acidity. The harvest is manual, with careful selection of perfectly ripe bunches. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period of about 10–12 days to extract vibrant aromas, color, and smooth tannins. After racking, the wine is aged for several months in stainless steel vats, resting on fine lees with periodic bâtonnage to enhance its roundness and aromatic complexity. There is no oak aging, preserving the wine’s fresh, fruity character, with notes of cherry, plum, and spice. A vibrant and authentic red, ideal for enjoying in its youth.

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.
