Barolo DOCG is a wine produced in the Massolino cellar of Sarralunga d'Alba. The company boasts a family tradition now in its fourth generation and has always aimed to create bottles capable of expressing all the beauty of a unique territory with quality. The grapes come from the Nebbiolo vines, classics in this area rich in limestone and with a temperate climate, which favor its optimal cultivation. After the careful harvest, we proceed with the long-lasting maceration and fermentation which takes place in oak vats. Subsequently, it is aged for about 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Before being put on the market, the wine needs a further period of aging in the bottle, in very dark and cool rooms, in order to obtain greater expressiveness. Barolo DOCG is a full-bodied and structured wine, which is well suited for immediate drinking, but can evolve in the cellar for several years.
