About this wine

Albesani is one of Barbaresco’s great hillside crus, giving wines that combine depth with verticality. Massolino’s 2021 shows bright red and dark berry fruit, dried rose, herbs and a ferrous, slightly “bloody” mineral nuance. The palate is concentrated yet taut, with firm, powdery tannins and vibrant acidity keeping everything precise. It’s still young and somewhat reserved, but the layers of sour cherry, redcurrant, spice and savoury earth promise excellent evolution in the cellar.

On the palate

Juicy dark cherry, plum and raspberry, firm tannins, tangy, long finish.

Massolino

Massolino is a cornerstone estate in Serralunga, combining traditional Barolo virtues with a polished, accessible style. From Barolo Classico to crus like Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda, the wines show depth, savoury complexity and the powerful tannic backbone typical of the village. Their broader range – from Dolcetto to Moscato – is crafted with the same precision and reliability.
