Red
Barbaresco
By Massolino - Vigna Rionda, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Massolino's first Barbaresco, made since 2019 from vineyards secured at the end of 2018, marking the estate's move beyond Barolo into the Barbaresco zone.
Tasting notes
Moderately intense garnet red. Seductive floral notes with red fruit. Outstanding harmony, polished tannins and balanced acidity, gentler and more delicate than the estate's Barolo.
Pairs well with
Pairs with rich, strongly flavoured dishes: fresh pasta with meat or vegetable sauces, grilled or roast red meat, and a range of cheeses from soft to blue-veined.
