This wine is an authentic expression of winemaking mastery, a work of art that blends tradition and perfection.

The process begins with prolonged fermentation and maceration in oak vats at a temperature around 30°C. The refinement then takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels, where it rests for a period of up to 18 months, to finally reach the bottle, where it continues its journey in special cool and dark rooms.

To the eye it reveals itself in all its splendor, with an intense garnet red color.

This wine offers complex and broad aromas: hints of flowers and red fruit emerge, together with nuances of hay, spices and tobacco, which give depth to the aroma, revealing an extraordinary olfactory spectrum.

On the palate, what emerges is a rich, elegant wine with exceptional aging potential. Each sip tells a story of oenological perfection and refinement, making each bottle of this Barbaresco truly special.

Estate in Serralunga d'Alba with a long-standing production of Barolo from vineyard crus. Deeply rooted in the Langhe and dedicated to showcasing Nebbiolo. Production includes Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and several white wines from the Langa. Family-run operation with an approach focused on preserving the character of single vineyards and traditional blends.
Winery history
The Massolino family has been active in Serralunga d'Alba since 1896, a date established from archival records. Over time the estate has promoted historic vineyards in Serralunga and in recent years has also launched projects in the Barbaresco area, expanding its presence in the Langhe.
Production philosophy
The production approach aims to highlight the voice of the terroir and the grape rather than cellar interventions: careful vineyard management, winemaking that respects the raw material, and the goal of producing precise, expressive wines capable of conveying the distinct character of each cru, with particular attention to Nebbiolo.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery is located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. The wines come from vineyards on hills well suited to Nebbiolo; the estate offers "classic" wines produced by blending multiple vineyards and crus that highlight differences in soil, exposure and vine age.
