This 2022 Barbaresco from Massolino, hailing from the prestigious Albesani cru, will showcase a youthful exuberance typical of Nebbiolo in its early years. Expect intense aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, and rose petals, interwoven with classic Nebbiolo notes of tar, licorice, and a hint of dried herbs or violet. The palate will be powerful and structured, driven by high acidity and firm, yet refined tannins. While young, it should offer a compelling balance of fruit and savory complexity, leading to a long, persistent finish with mineral undertones.
