## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

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.
