Barbera d'Alba by Massolino is produced with fine grapes that come from vineyards ranging in age from 10 to 45 years grown in the territory of the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. Fragrant and fruity red, which expresses all the energy and vitality of the Piedmontese tradition. The quality of the Serralunga grapes gives an aromatic richness and an uncommon elegance. It is vinified exclusively in steel and marketed already in the spring following the harvest. A straightforward, genuine and immediate red, with vinous and fragrant sensations with notes of fresh fruit and flowers and a light and fresh sip, dynamic and smooth, crunchy and intense, with subtle tannins. Perfect with soups and first courses, or to be enjoyed with bread and salami.

The history of the Massolino winery begins in 1896, the year in which Giovanni founded the company in Serralunga d'Alba. The first actual cellar, however, was built by Giuseppe, Giovanni's son, who together with his sister Angela extended the property by annexing other lands and in 1934 founded the Barolo and Barbaresco Protection Consortium. Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, three of Giuseppe's children, led the company to a turning point, thanks to the purchase of crus that are now true legends among enthusiasts: Vigna Rionda, Margheria and Parafada.
Today the company is led by brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino, assisted by their uncle Renato and Giovanni Angeli. Their work condenses the experience of an entire generation and the ambition of those who know they have to give credit to a historic winery and a unique terroir, that of Serralunga d'Alba. In this picturesque medieval village, located on one of the splendid hills of the Langhe, in the heart of the Barolo production area, the life of the Massolino winery comes alive, now an essential national point of reference for the production of very high quality wines.
"Making wine with passion, in its territory of origin, preserving the typical nature of the native vine in the belief that between the vines, the hills and the winemakers there exists a deep and palpable bond, made of loyalty cemented by custom to the same places. Since 1896 the The Massolino family produces wine this way, faithful to this philosophy and the ability to innovate in the name of tradition. Ultimately, faithful to itself." These are the words that describe the philosophy of the Massolino winery, a winery animated by love for its territory and its vineyards, always faithful to a family tradition that is now more than centuries old.
