Product Notes

The Massolino Barbera d'Alba 'Gisep' is a red Italian delight hailing from the Piedmont region. Boasting an exquisite blend of rich, full-bodied notes like ripe cherry, spices, and sumptuous oak, it perfectly mirrors the traditional output of Barbera grapes. Its velvety texture and refreshing minerality give it a distinct elegance. Equally remarkable is the wine's seamless balance between its robust fruitiness and vivacious acidity. Matured under carefully regulated conditions, this libation presents a lustrous, ruby red hue that alone is seductive. Ideal for red meat dishes, this wine is an absolute Italian gem deserving a special place at any table.

Tasting Notes

Elegant, sweet and tempting, the fruity notes characteristic of Barbera emerge. Thanks to its structure and concentration, it offers the palate sensations that only great wines can give; it reveals a decisive character in the smoothness created by the ripe grapes and the maturing process; it is released for sale in its second year.
