Massolino

Dolcetto d'Alba 2020

Raised entirely in stainless steel, this echoes. Deep and brooding like the best Dolcetto can be, but also with a playful exuberance; ripe plum, cherry, violets and seaweed. Finished with a chalky tannin. It’s acid profile means it could become something quite special with age too.

Founded in 1896, the Massolino family owns 23 hectares of (mostly) remarkable Serralunga vineyards, including primo parcels of such famous sites as; Margheria, Parafada and the legendary Vigna Rionda. The wines from Serralunga are renowned, ageing for decades, immensely structural and full of minerals. For someone looking to explore Barolo, or simply indulge in some of the greats, the wines of Massolino are a perfect place to whet your blade. Classic, with an eye on the future, they are the wines we should emulate.
