Massolino MASSOLINO Barbaresco Albesani 2020

Description

Massolino Barbaresco Albesani 2020 comes from a beautiful vineyard, located in the municipality of Neive, with excellent exposure and altitude. A rich, elegant, sometimes austere wine, capable of combining great pleasure and excellent aging potential. A few bottles of a truly special Barbaresco!

Il terreno della zona del Barbaresco offre un’espressione del Nebbiolo molto particolare. Questi vigneti sono in grado di donare vini con un equilibrio ed una finezza eccezionali, delicati e eleganti. Un’espressione molto suadente e affascinate. Emergono seducenti note floreali accompagnate da sentori di frutta rossa che donano al calice un’identità ben precisa; siamo difronte a vini più gentili e delicati rispetto ai nostri Barolo, ma con un fascino incredibile.

The history of the Massolino and their wine have been intertwined with the history of Serralunga d’Alba since 1896, when Giovanni founded the company. Giovanni was the first person to bring electricity to the village. An enterprising, tenacious and creative man, he is the progenitor of a family that has made the combination of research and tradition a distinctive trait.

The first Massolino cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of Giovanni, who, together with his sister Angela, extended the company with the purchase of new land and, in 1934, was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Defense of Barolo and Barbaresco . At that time, Joseph had six children. Three of them, Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, followed in their father’s footsteps, expanding the company with the purchase of cru vineyards that are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda.

In the 1990s, Franco and Roberto, both winemakers, joined the family estate. Their work condenses the experience of an entire family and the ambition of a new generation, determined to make an important contribution to the innovation of winemaking and agronomic techniques and to the image of the estate in Italy and abroad.
