Massolino's Barbaresco is the quintessence of finely balanced terroir: Nebbiolo grapes from the Starderi, Albesani and Serraboella cru sites mature together to create a complex yet transparent wine. The 2022 vintage provided a balanced climate – warm days and cool nights – which harmoniously blends freshness, finesse and aromatic richness. The colour in the glass is a medium garnet red with bright reflections. The nose exudes a velvety elegance of red fruits, violets, delicate lavender, spicy notes, crushed rock and a hint of orange peel – pure, lively fragrance with contoured clarity. A medium body full of energy unfolds on the palate: silky tannins, lively acidity and polished, mineral tension are the carriers of a fruit-emphasised depth. The finish lingers for a long time – intensely floral, spicy and with vibrant freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, transparent ruby red colour. Finely drawn bouquet with notes of graphite, liquorice, juicy redcurrants and cherries, also some red pepper, varied. Polished attack, then sweet fruit in front of powerful tannins, subtly spicy through to the finish." Falstaff

"The Barbaresco 2022 is bright and beautifully concentrated in the glass. Crushed flowers, chalk, mint, white pepper and orange peel give the 2022 a lovely liveliness. This light to medium-bodied Barbaresco is already fun to drink." Vinous

"This slightly reductive wine is smoky and floral with a strong aroma of roses, peach tea and sweet spices. It is medium-bodied, with firm but light tannins and crisp acidity. Strong finish." James Suckling

"A pure and precise bouquet reveals exuberant notes of violets, liquorice and blackberries. This fills the mouth with balanced concentration and measured power. There are no hard edges as the tannins with their suede texture gracefully envelop the supple fruit. As Massolino has only recently entered Barbaresco, the family has called in consultant Dante Scaglione. The parcels in Starderi, Albesani and Serraboella are combined before fermentation so that they blend together better." Decanter

"The Massolino 2022 Barbaresco shows a light ruby red colour and a beautiful luminosity. The wine is not too intense aromatically, but it shows good notes of cassis, redcurrants and wild cherries. There are etched mineral notes in the background with blue flowers and lilac. This Barbaresco is delicate and refined despite the hot vintage." Wine Advocate

"This red is broad-shouldered and boasts cherry, plum, menthol, iron and earth flavors. Its tannins are dense yet well-integrated, while the finish picks up a hint of licorice as this winds down." Wine Spectator
