{"product_id":"2024-massolino-barbera-dalba-piedmont","title":"2024 Massolino Barbera d'Alba DOC","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1896 in the village of Serralunga d'Alba, Massolino is one of Piedmont's most historic family estates and one of the benchmark producers of traditional Barolo. The winery was established by Giovanni Massolino, an innovative figure who was not only a pioneering winegrower but also the first person to bring electricity to the village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the fourth generation continues to oversee the winery, blending deep respect for tradition with thoughtful modernization. Their philosophy emphasizes meticulous vineyard work, minimal intervention in the cellar, and wines that faithfully express the power, structure, and longevity of Serralunga's unique terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile collectors prize Massolino's Barolos—especially those from Vigna Rionda—the estate applies the same uncompromising standards to every wine it produces, from Dolcetto and Barbera to Langhe Nebbiolo, making Massolino one of the most consistently admired names in all of Piedmont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Massolino Barbera d'Alba is a textbook expression of Piedmont's most versatile red grape, delivering vibrant fruit, lively acidity, and the precision that has made Massolino one of the Langhe's most respected family estates. While renowned for their world-class Barolos from Serralunga d'Alba, the Massolino family gives the same meticulous attention to this everyday Barbera, crafting a wine that is fresh, expressive, and irresistibly food-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it shows a vivid ruby-purple color with aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, raspberry, violets, and a touch of baking spice. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, balancing juicy red and black fruits with Barbera's signature bright acidity and gentle tannins. Notes of plum, black cherry, sweet herbs, and a hint of pepper carry through to a clean, refreshing finish that invites another sip. The 2024 vintage emphasizes freshness and drinkability, producing a softer, more delicate style without sacrificing concentration or character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REGAL WINE COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51516674408754,"sku":"510000000007616","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/massolino.png?v=1785549673","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2024-massolino-barbera-dalba-piedmont","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
