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.

Davide Fregonese
Austere, imposing, long-lived. Barolo Prapò DOCG vintage 2016 from Davide Fregonese winery, is an excellent red wine produced from grapes from 100% Nebbiolo vines. The vines were planted in 2000 in Serralunga d'Alba, Prapò, on calcareous soil at an altitude of 365 m slm , facing south-east. The training system used is espalier, with guyot pruning, and the grapes that have reached maturity are harvested in mid-October. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks in contact with the skins for about 28 days with daily pumping over and a delastage around the fourteenth day. The refinement takes place for a period of 18/30 months, depending on the vintage, and is carried out in French oak barrels from the Fontainebleau forest. A seductive glass of bright ruby red color. The nose opens fruity aromas of blackberry and blueberry, with spicy notes of cloves. In the mouth the taste is endowed with a decisive sapidity and a remarkable structure, supported by the right softness. The tannins are extremely fine, with a long persistence. It goes perfectly with baked veal shank and lamb with potatoes.

Davide Fregonese
Enveloping, intense, memorable. Barolo Cerretta DOCG by Cantina "Bugia Nen" by Davide Fregonese, is an excellent red wine produced from grapes from 100% Nebbiolo vines. The Serralunga d'Alba vineyards were planted in 1998 on clayey-limestone soil at an altitude of 340 m slm with western exposure. The training system is espalier with guyot pruning. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe in mid-October. The refinement is carried out for a period ranging from 18 to 30 months depending on the vintage, in 15 hl French oak barrels from the Fontainbleau forest. A glass capable of captivating sight and smell from the very first moment. Intense ruby red to the eye, it offers the nose an amazing floral aroma of slightly withered flowers, mixed with the persistent scent of blackberry jam, followed by the bitterish hint of cocoa and licorice. In the mouth the taste is dense and extraordinarily enveloping, with a solid and balanced body, the flavor is persistent. The finish is fresh with a subtle but extremely elegant tannic texture. A refined and unique label of its kind; such a special bottle that it is perfectly suited to be tasted on the occasion of a combination with a juicy fassona steak, an elegant fillet with morels or a refined truffled partridge.
