THE WINERY – MASSOLINO
The history of the Massolino family and their wine has been linked to Serralunga d’Alba since 1896, when Giovanni founded his winery. Giovanni was the first to bring electricity to the village.
An enterprising, tenacious, and creative man, the forefather of a family that has made the union of inspiration and tradition a source of pride.
The first cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of the founder Giovanni, who together with his sister Angela extended the estate into the finest lands and in 1934 was among the founders of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo e Barbaresco. At the time, Giuseppe’s family included six children. Three of them, Giovanni, Camilla, and Renato, would follow in their father’s footsteps, transforming the company with the purchase of crus that are true jewels: Margheria, Parafada, and Vigna Rionda.
…philosophy…
Making wine with passion in its territory of origin, preserving the character of the native grape in the belief that a deep and palpable bond exists between the vines, the hills, and the winemakers, forged by a shared history in the same places. Since 1896, the Massolino family has produced wine this way, faithful to this philosophy and the ability to innovate in the name of tradition.
Ultimately, remaining true to themselves.
BARBARESCO
In 2019, a new chapter in the family history began: Barbaresco was produced.
The Massolino family’s adventure in the prestigious hills of Barbaresco finally begins. 2019 marks the birth of two new labels, reflecting their commitment to measuring themselves against one of the most important wines of the Langa. For the Massolino winery, the realization of a dream.
The Barbaresco appellation is undoubtedly a flagship of Italian enology, representing an extraordinary project for the Massolino winery. Finally, at the end of 2018, the fortune of finding vineyards located in highly suited areas brought this great dream to fruition.
Soil type: medium-textured
Vinification and aging: traditional Barbaresco with medium-duration fermentation and maceration in oak vats at temperatures around 30°C; aging takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 18 months. This is followed by bottle aging in cool, dark cellars.
Notes: the soil of the Barbaresco area offers a very particular expression of Nebbiolo. These vineyards are capable of producing wines with exceptional balance and finesse, delicate and elegant. A very persuasive and fascinating expression.
Appearance: medium-intense garnet red.
Nose: seductive floral notes emerge, accompanied by hints of red fruit that give the glass a precise identity; these are gentler and more delicate wines compared to our Barolos, but with incredible charm.
Palate: great harmony, well-polished tannins, and balanced acidity; it possesses a pleasantness that undoubtedly highlights the character of these extraordinary territories… these are the qualities we seek in our Barbaresco wines!
Decanting is recommended, serving at a temperature of 18-20°C. It expresses itself best when paired with rich, flavorful dishes, from fresh pasta with rich meat or vegetable sauces to red meat dishes, grilled or roasted. Also excellent with cheeses, from soft to delicate blue varieties.
