    Masseria comes from a vineyard in Bricco di Neive and is essentially vinified and aged like a Barolo. Impressive depth and intensity, with bright red cherry, cranberry, chalk and floral notes. On the palate it is then full of aromatic intensity and power, without ever losing its typical Vietti shine. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Produced since 1967, Masseria brings together fruit from Pora, Faset, Paje' and Montaribaldi in the township of Barbaresco, as well as Giacone in Treiso. Like Vietti's Barolos, it spends a lengthy 30 months in large casks. Pristine, precise and pure, the 2016 rings out with pronounced mint, white pepper and rose. Still tightly wound, this is tactile and chalky but above all elegant. Long, luscious tannins are seamlessly integrated and the finish bursts with lovely red currants and pomegranate." Decanter

    "The 2016 Barbaresco Masseria represents its own chapter in the volumes of wines that make up the Vietti portfolio. Masseria is always delicate and fine, and this is even more true in a classic vintage such as this. This wine has historically seen its fruit come from the Neive subzone of the Barbaresco appellation, and you'll notice some of the tightly polished and glossy tannins that are associated with this area. In fact, the wine is deceiving in that it starts off slowly, but it quickly amasses power and momentum on the mid-palate." Wine Advocate

    "The 2016 Barbaresco Masseria is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Powerful and explosive with stunning lift, the 2016 is just gorgeous. Dried flowers, mint, blood orange, red cherry and chalk infuse the 2016 with striking layers of nuance, but it is the wine's balance and total sense of harmony that leave the deepest impression. Vivid, powerful and wonderfully alive in the glass, the Masseria will thrill readers lucky enough to own it. The 2016 is such a stunning wine. The Masseria is a blend of several sites built around a core of fruit from Giaccone, in Treiso, along with Pora and Faset, both in Barbaresco. All I can say is: Wow!" Vinous
