They originate from the historic \u003cstrong\u003eAlbesani vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated at around two hundred and thirty metres above sea level on \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured\u003c\/strong\u003e soils. These pedoclimatic conditions, combined with the presence of old vines, favour the ripening of \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing its expressive clarity. The agronomic care reflects the dedication of Massolino, a winery active since 1896 that adopts careful, \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e management. The soil and exposure give the wine stylistic precision and vibrant energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cellar process involves prolonged fermentation and \u003cstrong\u003emaceration in oak vats\u003c\/strong\u003e at controlled temperatures.

This is followed by a targeted period of bottle ageing in the dark and cool. After decanting for an hour, it is best enjoyed between sixteen and eighteen degrees. It is the ideal pairing for game, truffle dishes, flavourful first courses, pork and fine \u003cstrong\u003eaged cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco DOCG Albesani\u003c\/strong\u003e from Massolino is born from the expertise of a family devoted to winemaking since 1896, an authentic expression of the historic vineyards of Neive.
