This solid flavour structure ensures the wine has \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to evolve beautifully over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come mainly from the vineyards of Serralunga d’Alba and, in part, from Castiglione Falletto, within the renowned Barolo area. The vineyards thrive between 320 and 360 metres above sea level, where the wine’s strength derives from the \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-marl soil\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in clay, essential for giving \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e a solid tannic framework.

The wine then matures for a long period in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to stabilise the structure and soften the tannic texture. The process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003efurther period of rest\u003c\/strong\u003e in cool, protected environments, allowing this red to achieve impeccable balance before being enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1896 in Serralunga d’Alba, the iconic Massolino winery represents a true excellence of the Langhe region.
