Named after Giuseppe Massolino, the charismatic uncle and long-time ambassador of the winery, Gisep is the majestic interpretation of a grape variety that matures to unimagined depth here. The grapes come from high-altitude, old vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, whose calcareous and clayey soils give the Barbera natural vigour and firm structure. The 2022 vintage, characterised by a warm summer with cooling September nights, produced grapes of exceptional physiological ripeness. The ageing in large oak barrels ensures harmonious tannins and a deep, persistent flavour.

Deep, dark ruby red in the glass with a purple rim. The bouquet is intense and complex: black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry combine with violets, liquorice, dark chocolate and a hint of balsamic herbs. On the palate, Gisep is full-bodied, silky and impressively concentrated, always with a fresh acidity that gives the wine length and finesse. The final lingers for a long time, characterised by dark fruit, spice and mineral tension – a Barbera of rare greatness and with great Storage potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Barbera d'Alba Gisep 2022, Massolino's Barbera aged in wood, is fabulous. It offers all the intensity of wines made in this style, with plenty of textural richness but without the heaviness of previous editions, thanks to a better valued use of oak. Dark cherry, mocha, liquorice and spice characterise the resonant finish." Vinous
