Massolino’s 2020 Barbaresco, a blend of all three Barbaresco crus, is crafted with the same delicate vinification and meticulous attention to detail as their Barolo. Compared to the more tannic and tense 2019 vintage, the 2020 offers an ethereal restraint, making it slightly more approachable. For fourth-generation winemaker Franco Massolino, this vintage reflects his preferred style. The nose is spectacular, filled with fresh red fruits and a sweet perfume, while the palate is beautifully balanced with charming berry notes, fresh acidity, and crushed velvet tannins. This is a classic and expressive Barbaresco to be cherished.
