Massolino Barbera d'Alba 2023 750ml

Piedmont's Most Joyful Red, from One of Serralunga's Finest Estates

Massolino is one of the Langhe's most respected family estates, best known for its benchmark Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba. But their Barbera d'Alba is a wine in its own right — vibrant, generous, and built for the table. Vinified and aged in a combination of cement and steel to preserve the grape's natural freshness and vivid red-fruit character, the 2023 is a textbook expression of what great Barbera can be.

Expert Reviews

• Wine Spectator — 91 pts: "A smooth version, revealing cherry, raspberry, rose and mineral flavors. An astringent feel emerges midpalate, yet this red remains long and pure. Drink now through 2032."
• Vinous — 90 pts: "A boisterous, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Cement and steel aging keeps the red-toned fruit wonderfully vibrant. Lifted floral notes linger on the close."

Winemaker Notes

Deep purplish, almost impenetrable red. Elegant, sweet, and tempting — the intense, fruity character of Barbera at its most expressive. Vinous, fresh, and well-balanced, with richness that never tips into heaviness.
