Region: Piedmont, Italy

Composition: 100% Moscato

History: The history of the Massolinos and their wine became entwined with the history of Serralunga d’Alba in 1896, when Giovanni Massolino founded the estate. Giovanni was the first to bring electricity to the village, an enterprising, tenacious, and creative man. Giovanni’s son, Giuseppe, built Massolino’s first wine cellar, extended the estate into the best soils, and in 1934, founded the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. Three of Giovanni’s children later followed in his footsteps, expanding the estate by purchasing cru vineyards which are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada, and Vigna Rionda. In the 1990s, Franco and Roberto, both oenologists, joined the family estate. Their work condenses the experience of an entire family and the ambition of a new generation, determined to contribute to the innovation of oenological and agronomical techniques and the image of the estate in Italy and abroad. Massolino makes wine passionately in its land of origin, preserving the typical characteristics of indigenous grape varieties. Central to the winery’s philosophy is the conviction that there is a deep, tangible link between the vines, hills, and winegrowers, whose connection and affinity to the land grows more profound with each passing year.

Tasting Notes:

It has an expansive and enveloping mouthful feel, but it is not too sweet. The typical aroma of Moscato grapes is naturally prevalent, and it has a very long and delicious finish.
