Product Notes

The Massolino Barbera d'Alba Gisep is a splendid Italian wine heralding from the Piedmont region. Boasting a vibrant ruby hue, the wine exudes tantalising aromas of ripe berries, dried herbs, and delicate whispers of oak. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine showcases lively acidity and robust tannins, with flavours of black cherries and plums unfurling charmingly. A harmonious blend of modern and traditional wine-making imparts an irresistible velvety texture. Paired perfectly with hearty meats or rich pastas, the Massolino Barbera d'Alba Gisep is indeed an exquisite indulgence that captivates one and all with its delectable complexity and superb balance.

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.
