Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

A great way to get your eye in on the 2021 vintage! Vibrant with loads of energy & zippy fresh acid, slatey & mineral, dark, with tobacco at play. Perfumed, fine. Roses and red fruits, a little resinous note, fine long & plenty of fun. Dusting/chalky tannins making for a good complex with the acid. Again we see the low pH offering freshness. The site near Monforte d’Alba adds altitude freshness, Alba fruit (power), Serralunga freshness and elegance. This spends 15month large

The Barbarescos

Massolino “Albesani” Barbaresco MAGNUM 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

On the western hills above Neive, Albesani is one of the great vineyards of Barbaresco. In his “Barbaresco MGA”, Alessandro Masnaghetti writes that “the combination of soil, stature and exposure creates one of the greatest vineyards of the Langhe”. So perhaps it won’t be a surprise that, of the three Barbaresco parcels, Massolino has chosen to bottle its first single-vineyard wine from this site. As Franco Massolino explains: “From the very first moment this wine began to ferment, we

Massolino Barolo DOCG 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

Diam. First produced in 1911, the fruit for Massolino’s classic cuvée is selected from seven sites across roughly seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The most important of these sites—Briccolina, Collareto, Broglio and Le Turne—are dotted around the town itself (Le Turne borders Margheria, while Collareto lies next to Vigna Rionda)—so we are talking quality real estate. The 2019 also includes a little declassified fruit from Massolino’s Parussi Cru. Vine age varies fro

Massolino Barolo DOCG 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

Stepping up again! Massolino's 2016 Normale is Superb! An excellent Normale from Massolino with 2016 tannins shinning through with line and length on a core of fruit with great density and length. Red cherry with bags of sophistication in the shape of the palate both fruit and tannins. The tannins are bold and of exceptional quality.

Massolino “Parussi” Barolo MAGNUM 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Castiglione Falletto

This is the only Barolo vineyard that Massolino owns outside of Serralunga, ‘the egg outside of the nest’ as an old Piemonte saying goes. On the crest of the ridge, Parussi sits right next to the Serralunga border on the Castiglione Falletto side. The blue, iron-rich Sant'Agata marls here are a little lighter and more oxygenated, with more silt and less clay than in Serralunga. This makes for more vigour in the vines and a completely different style of wine. The Massolino family were attract

The Vigna Rionda

Massolino “Vigna Rionda” Barolo 2017

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Vigna Rionda is historically the most revered vineyard of Serralunga and the source of some of the greatest, finest and most long-lived Barolo. The Massolino family are the largest holders in this Cru with 3.5 hectares of Vigna Rionda vines, aged between 40 and 50 years old. On some of the oldest soils of Barolo, there is very little topsoil here, with a high concentration of limestone, oxidised iron and other mineral elements. The altitude is also 300 metres above sea level—so, high—with

Thoughts echoed shortly after by winemaker Giovanni Agnelli. The wine has a lovely line and length. Great purity, initially it seemed tightly coiled, opened quickly to reveal an enticing perfume, generosity of fruit, layering and savouriness. Add to that a little liquorice and tar. The wine has great harmony, depth and length. Jus
