La storia dei Massolino e del loro vino si intrecciarono con la storia di Serralunga d’Alba sin dal 1896, quando Giovanni fondò l’azienda. Giovanni fu la prima persona a portare elettricità in paese. Uomo intraprendente, tenace e creativo, è il progenitore di una famiglia che ha fatto della combinazione di ricerca e tradizione un tratto distintivo.

The first Massolino winery 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 oenological and agronomic techniques and to the image of the estate in Italy and abroad.
