A fantastic new addition from these legends of Piedmont, Massolino. This Nebbiolo is sourced from across the boundary in the nearby area of Barberesco, and it offers all of the delights we hope for from this style. It is naturally brighter and lighter on its feet than their full-textured reds from Barolo, but retains the Massolino hallmark of impeccable finesse. A serious achievement, this new Barbaresco is really delivering at the price.

94/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Cherry, sage and earth, some liquorice, dried flowers, and a beautiful wine to smell. Medium-bodied, good flavour, plum, cherry, some red fruits, some graphite and stony feel, firm and long to close. There’s some succulence here, but also perfume. It’s a great success. Such charm. Drinking beautifully now too."

93/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
“The Massolino 2022 Barbaresco shows a light ruby appearance and a pretty luminosity. The wine is not too intense aromatically, but it does give a good showing of cassis, redcurrant and wild cherry. There are etched mineral notes at the back with blue flower and lilac. This Barbaresco is delicate and finessed, despite the hot vintage. It does a good job of capturing the quieter and less exuberant side of 2022. Drink 2026 – 2037."

93/100 Michaela Morris, Decanter UK (2022 Vintage)
"A pristine and precise nose gives an exuberant demonstration of violet, liquorice and wild bramble berries. This fills the mouth with poised concentration and measured vigour. There are no hard edges as suede-textured tannins gracefully enfold the supple fruit. Given Massolino’s relatively new foray into Barbaresco, the family has called on consultant Dante Scaglione to help out. Plots in Starderi, Albesani and Serraboella are assembled before fermentation in order to amalgamate better. Drink 2025 – 2031."

17+/20 Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (2022 Vintage)
"Lustrous, youthful ruby. At first, a little peppery and subdued, with subtle yet concentrated raspberry underneath. Great focus and purity. Firm structure, but perfectly balanced. Drink 2025 – 2032."
