Massolino Barbera d'Alba 2024 750ml

Massolino’s two hectares of Barbera, planted across their limestone-rich Serralunga vineyards, are now complemented by fruit from Monforte d’Alba. This bright, delicious, drink-now style of Barbera was fermented for 10 to 12 days in stainless steel and cement tanks. It was then raised in the same vessels for a short period before bottling and release. As always, meticulous selection, impressive vineyards and low yields form the blueprint. It’s bright and refreshing, with gorgeous bitter cherry and amaro-like, macerated orange rind notes woven through the perfumed and sparklingly pure palate. The 2024 season was a wet one that brought more delicate wines, and this is a superb example, with the mouthwatering finish bringing a saline edge, and just the right twist of refreshing bitterness.
