Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

Drawn from three sources, the Massolino Lange Nebbiolo has never tasted better. The first source comes from parcels of vines in Serralunga that don’t make the cut for the cru wines—in short, declassified Barolo fruit. Then comes Massolino’s site on the edge of Monforte, called Cascina I Maschi. Massolino credits this cool, chalky site with giving the wine more lifted perfume and freshness. Finally, a parcel in Alba on lighter, sandy-clay soils, brings fruit generosity. The blend is one-third from each of these sources. There’s little doubt the sum of these parts brings even more finesse and early-drinking appeal to what has always been an outstanding Langhe Nebbiolo.
