2023 Massolino Barbera d'Alba

Hailing from the iconic village of Serralunga d'Alba, Massolino is known for crafting classic, terroir-driven wines. While they are best known for their Barolo, their Barbera d'Alba is a fantastic expression of Piedmont’s everyday red, offering depth, freshness, and vibrant fruit character. On the nose, this Barbera displays aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and a hint of violet, accented by notes of spice and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, typical of Barbera, which balances the rich fruit profile. Flavors of dark berries, wild herbs, and a subtle hint of oak from the short time spent aging in wood, lead to a long, refreshing finish. The wine's acidity makes it food-friendly and versatile, perfect for everyday enjoyment or more structured meals. Massolino’s Barbera showcases the estate’s meticulous attention to detail, producing a wine that offers both elegance and drinkability.
