Here is Massolino's first single-field wine from Neive in Barbaresco. Albesani MGA, which is a corner of the iconic Santo Stefano, is the field where Dante Scaglione, as a consultant, has been the man behind Bruno Giacosa's absolutely fantastic Barbaresco wines.

Fortunately, Dante Scaglioni is also a consultant for Massolino, and how many people know this field better than Dante?

Massolino has 2 ha from Albesani. The sticks are approx. 50 years old and stands 230 meters above sea level.

This wine is produced in a completely traditional way. After long fermentation in Slavonian oak, the wine has matured for 18 months in hl Slavonian oak.

The wine radiates great elegance, and you are met by the aroma of red fruits from the light wine. The wine is deep and complex at the same time, and it really shows off the Albesani terroir at its best.

The quantity of this wine is unfortunately extremely limited.

Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Barbaresco Albesani captures alle the breadth and resonance, that is such a signature of this famous hillside in Neive. Red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal, lavender, menthol and licorice build with a bit of time in the glass. Bright acids and lively tannins add evergy to this super-classic, inviting Barbaresco from Massolino. The 2019 is a dream, not to mention a superb debut.

Massolino has added a few terrific new Barbarescos to its lineup. The 2019 Barbaresco Albesani is one of these. With fruit from a 0.6-hectare growing site at a warm 230 meters in elevation, the wine shows broad knitting and dark fruit nuances of blackcurrant and cherry. There is spice, toast and mineral at the back. This is a 4,000-bottle production.
