Barbaresco Albesani

Medium

Cork

One of two Barbaresco that Massolino has produced since the 2019 vintage, the Albesani comes from a 2ha southwest-facing plot of old vines. The 2023 was fermented at slightly lower temperatures than usual to preserve its fresh, fruity attributes. A gorgeous intensity of raspberry and pomegranate is nuanced by warm, sunbaked earth. The palate is further perfumed with violet and tobacco. Grainy, tactile but polished tannins start upfront, making a linear progression. Graceful rather than forceful in character, it's savoury and tangy to the finish, and almost ready to open.
