Made entirely from hand-harvested Barbera grown in the hills of Serralunga d’Alba, it combines freshness, depth, and regional character in a style that has earned international recognition. Barbera has a long history in the region, with early written references dating back to the 17th century, and this wine continues that tradition with precision and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-red color with bright, youthful reflections. The nose is generous and expressive, offering aromas of ripe red and dark berries, subtle spice, and a clean, fragrant freshness that reflects its stainless-steel élevage.\n\nOn the palate, it is lively and well-structured, with Barbera’s hallmark natural acidity balancing ripe fruit, smooth texture, and a satisfying sense of energy. The finish is precise and persistent, making it enjoyable young while still showing enough structure to develop well over a few years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards in the Cuneo area of Piedmont, where compact grey-yellow sandy soils rich in deposits and a favorable microclimate help Barbera achieve both power and finesse. The fruit is harvested by hand around mid-October, with a strong respect for the environment and local ecosystem. Vinification and maturation take place in stainless steel tanks over 10 to 12 days at a controlled temperature of 32–33°C, a method chosen to preserve the grape’s natural aromas and freshness before a short bottle aging period prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for rich pasta dishes, tomato-based sauces, roasted poultry, grilled meats, sausages, and aged cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, to bring out its freshness and balance. Decanting is not essential, but a short airing can help the wine open up if enjoyed soon after release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMassolino is one of the most respected producers in Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of Piedmont’s Langhe region.
