    Producer

    The Massolino estate's vineyards stretch across sunny terraces, where the Nebbiolo grape variety thrives. The predominantly clay-limestone soils are ideal for cultivating this demanding grape. The climate, typically Mediterranean with continental influences, ensures optimal grape ripening. Each plot is meticulously cultivated, allowing the full richness of the terroir to express itself. Biodiversity and sustainable practices are central to their approach.

    Owner and history

    Today, the Massolino estate is run by the Massolino family, who passionately carry on their ancestors' legacy. The owners, fervent defenders of their terroir, are committed to producing authentic, high-quality wines. Their dedication to the environment and winemaking traditions is evident in every bottle. With a forward-looking vision, they continue to innovate while respecting the history and roots of their estate.

    Vinification and aging

    The 2018 Barolo is made using traditional methods. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Aging takes place in oak barrels, allowing for the gentle integration of tannins and the development of aromatic complexity. This process, combined with extended aging, gives the wine its structure and aging potential. Every step, from harvest to bottling, is carried out with meticulous care.
