Description
This is a blend of fruit from all three of Massolino’s crus: Albesani, Serraboella and Starderi, from the commune of Nieve. First produced in 2019, this is a beautifully accomplished wine, with a delicately detailed nose of ripe berry fruit and balsamic hints that lead to a suave, persuasive palate. Its sinewy, plush structure is balanced by freshness and verve, and finishes with a fantail of fine tannins. This is a beautiful expression, and outstanding value for money.
Adrian Brice, Fine Wine Buyer, Berry Bros. & Rudd
Critics reviews
Grapes come from the lower part of Albesani, Starderi and Serraboella. Fermented in 50- to 60-hl tronconic oak casks, and aged for 18 months in large 50- and 60-hl oak casks.
Lustrous mid crimson. Inky cherry that becomes minerally and salty with aeration. Lifted and a little balsamic with a hint of liquorice. Fresh cherry and raspberry charged with gripping tannins.
A little dusty but with energetic raspberry fruit. Succulent raspberry fruit with expressive, long tannins.
Drink 2024 - 2032
Aromas recalling cedar, spice, new leather and wild red berry form the nose on the fragrant 2021 Massolino Barbaresco. Straight forward and linear, the palate offers tart red cherry, pomegranate and star anise set against fine-grained tannins.
Drink 2027 - 2033
Bright cinnamon and earthy strawberry aromas with violets and dried cherries. Firm, with lifted acidity, dusty yet ripe tannins, a chewy mid-palate and ripe fruit on the finish. Approachable Barbaresco but will age nicely, too. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Barbaresco is a blend from parcels in Albesani, Serraboella and Starderi. Gracious and nuanced, the 2021 offers up hints of crushed flowers, orange peel, mint, sweet red berry fruit and spice. Readers will find a super-classic Barbaresco. Lifted aromatics, mid-weight structure and persistent yet fine tannins give the wine its shape. This is beautifully done.
