These vineyards, with their limestone and clay soils, give Nebbiolo a finer, more aromatic frame than Barolo, offering an exciting counterpoint to the estate’s historic home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Barbaresco undergoes traditional fermentation in oak vats at around 30 °C, followed by up to 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks before further rest in bottle. The result is a wine that marries Massolino’s precision with the lifted perfume and freshness of Barbaresco terroir. It shows immediate charm, yet carries the structure and acidity to reward a decade or more in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NOSE\u003cbr\u003e – Floral and mineral\u003cbr\u003e Rose, lilac, and violet weave through cherry, redcurrant, spice, and liquorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePALATE\u003cbr\u003e – Silky and balanced\u003cbr\u003e Red fruit purity carried by refined tannins and crisp acidity, framed by subtle minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH\u003cbr\u003e – Fresh and elegant\u003cbr\u003e Graceful persistence with lingering notes of fruit and earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Light ruby with cassis, redcurrant, wild cherry, blue florals, and mineral undertones—delicate and finessed, especially notable given the challenging vintage.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Monica Larner, Wine Advocate – 93 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Elegant and charming, with bright fruit and fine detail.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e James Suckling – 93 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Refined and balanced, with ripe fruit, spice, and excellent finesse.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Falstaff – 92 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Pliant and graceful, showing the finesse of Barbaresco with Massolino’s precision.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Antonio Galloni, Vinous – 92 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Style - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e Varietal - Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003e Country - Italy\u003cbr\u003e Region - Piedmont, Barbaresco DOCG\u003cbr\u003e Vintage - 2022\u003cbr\u003e Bottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003e ABV - 14.5%\u003cbr\u003e Closure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45436863217855,"sku":"MASBRESCO-22","price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/5174\/9311\/files\/23974b4a-a423-45ad-a8b0-e6e490ae06f9.jpg?v=1775005895","url":"https:\/\/cbdcellars.sydney\/products\/massolino-barbaresco-2022","provider":"CBD Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
