In Serralunga d'Alba, everything revolves around Nebbiolo. The limestone, the steep slopes, the microclimate – everything is geared towards it, everything serves Barolo. The fact that the Massolino family also cultivates Dolcetto on these soils has less to do with compromise than with conviction: What comes from a great terroir bears its signature, regardless of the variety – regardless of the variety. 2.5 hectares of Dolcetto at 330 metres, in the shadier plots of the Serralunga hills – because the variety ripens quickly and needs some protection from the midday heat of the limestone slopes. Hand-picked, 7 to 9 days of maceration in steel at around 30 degrees, BSA, short maturation in the bottle – the wine is released at the beginning of the following year.

Bright ruby red in the glass with deep violet tones. Fresh and intense on the nose: red fruits, violets, blueberries, a hint of liquorice and leather – and underneath, unmistakably, the smoke and iron of Serralunga. Warm and expansive on the palate on entry, concentrated fruit, with the characteristic ripe tannin of Dolcetto and fine bitter almonds on the long finish. The dry "little sweetness" with the big address. SUPERIORE.DE
