"From the very first moments of fermentation of this wine, we realise every year that we are dealing with a very high expression of Nebbiolo. The MGA Albesani is a very beautiful vineyard in the municipality of Neive with an ideal orientation and perfect altitude. From there comes a rich, elegant, sometimes austere wine that combines its great appeal with excellent ageing potential." Franco Massolino

Barbaresco Albesani shows all the breadth and resonance that is so typical of this famous hillside vineyard in Neive. Red-purple fruit, spices, rose petals, lavender, menthol and liquorice develop with a little time in the glass. Bright acids and lively tannins give this classic, inviting Barbaresco from Massolino plenty of energy and persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium garnet red with ruby reflections and a brightening rim. Fine and elegant nose of raspberries and strawberries, some sour cherry and pomegranate as well as a hint of forest floor. Very fresh and juicy on the palate with polished and gripping tannins and a spicy final." Falstaff

"Firm and structured, this wine offers dark, ripe fruit that commands attention while aromas of blue violets lead deeper into the glass. Juicy dark cherries form the core of the palate, while drying blackberries and a hint of plum linger over the firm and tannic palate, lifted by mouthwatering acidity. Elegant and spicy flavours offer a respite from the abundance of fruit on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

"The Barbaresco Albesani 2021 is a super-classic wine that needs time to develop. It has a remarkable structure and the unobtrusive depth typical of Barbaresco. With time in the glass, aromas of herbs, white pepper, autumn leaves and spices emerge. All it needs is time in the bottle." Vinous

"The Massolino 2021 Barbaresco Albesani shows redcurrant and tart berry aromas. It also has a hint of something metallic with rusty nail or tin can. The wine reveals a fluid personality with a few exciting aromatic changes along the way. That versatility bodes well for its future evolution." Wine Advocate

"Bright and fresh with notes of red berries, dried rosehips and asphalt. Medium-bodied. It has a fleshy structure with very fine tannins and bright acidity. Shows tension and focus. Spicy on the finish. Try after 2026." James Suckling
