This is stunning value in baby Barolo, a Nebbiolo from the more general Langhe area made by legends Massolino. Packed with this amazing style's vibrant red fruit, racy acidity and textural grip, the Massolino is a food red with serious presence and some age-worthiness. We don't have tons of this, and at such a low price this 'Tuesday night Barolo' is one hell of wine. Grab it!

Its Origins

Massolino are among the foremost Barolo producers, with deep history in Serralunga d'Alba. Giovanni Massolino founded the estate in 1896 and was also the first to bring electricity to his village. Son Guiseppe and daughter Angela were likewise ahead of their time, in 1934 extending holdings in what are now regarded as some of Barolo's best crus - Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda. Whilst channelling their tradition, Massolino also utilise the heavier clay soils of Serralunga to bring a satisfying breadth, density and structure to their Barolo’s - which, balanced against their extreme refinement and expressive clarity - make them almost incomparable for the price.

What The Critics Say

92/100 Kerin O’Keefe

The 2022 Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo is smooth and delicious, doling out flavors of raspberry compote, ripe strawberry, cake spice and crushed mint. It’s full-bodied but lithe, accessible and elegant, with polished tannins. Drink through 2027.”

90/100 Vinous, Antonio Galloni

“The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is a fine bridge to the Barbarescos and Barolos. Shorter time on the skins exalts bright red fruit tones and overall freshness. Medium in body, with pretty floral top notes, the Langhe Nebbiolo is terrific. I especially admire its vibrancy considering the vintage." Drink 2024 - 2030
