The history of the Massolinos and their wine became entwined with the history of Serralunga d’Alba in 1896, when Giovanni founded the Estate. Giovanni was the very first person to bring the electric current to the village. An enterprising, tenacious and creative man, progenitor of a family that has made the combination of inspiration and tradition something to be proud of.
The first wine cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of the founder Giovanni, who, together with his sister Angela, extended his estate into the best soils and, in 1934, was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. At that time, Giuseppe had six children. Three of them, Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, followed in their father’s footsteps, expanding the estate with the purchase of cru vineyards which are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada and Vigna RIonda.
In the 1990’s Franco and Roberto, both oenologists, joined the family estate. Their work condenses the experience of an entire family and the ambition of a new generation, determined to make an important contribution to the innovation of oenological and agronomical techniques and to the image of the estate in Italy and abroad.
Making wine with passion, in its land of origin, preserving the typical characteristics of the autochthonous grape varieties, being convinced that there is a deep and tangible link between the vines, hills and winegrowers, made up of affinities cemented, by habit, to the land. Since 1896, the Massolino family has been making wine this way, loyal to this philosophy and to the capacity for innovation in the name of tradition. In short, loyal to itself.
If our Barbera d'Alba D.O.C. is a traditional red from the Langhe, we like to think that Gisep is the spokesperson for a grape variety that is also capable of astounding. “Gisep” is the Piedmontese version of the name Giuseppe, and this wine is a tribute to our grandfather, who was instrumental to the growth of our estate. We make it from a selection...
Langhe D.O.C. Nebbiolo Massolino is a good way to approach the grape variety, without the reverential fear that Barolo might inspire. Fermentation is slightly shorter, then the wine spends a year in large Slavonian oak barrels to emphasise the elegance and finesse of the variety
