Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

This is young vine Serralunga, some Monforte, and some Alba. I think 2022 has delivered some pretty good and juicy wines that may well drink well earlier, but they do have substance and interest. This is fruit-driven and doesn’t get weighed down by winemaking. It’s bright and flavoursome, strawberry, red cherry, peanuts, mint and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, juicy and lively, with a lick of emery board tannin, a delicious succulence to it, and such high drinking appeal, and the finish is fresh with something of a blood orange tang and good length. It’s a lovely glass of Nebbiolo and speaks of place. Massolino have pulled a rabbit out of the hat this vintage!

Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast

An enchanting wine with its lifted, pretty aromas of raspberry, sage, rose, and white tea. The palate is a lively dance of tart cherries and cranberries, punctuated by subtle savory notes that playfully emerge with each sip. Fine tannins and bright acidity provide the perfect stage for this delicious, refreshing performance.

The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is a fine bridge to the Barbarescos and Barolos. Shorter time on the skins exalts bright red fruit tones and overall freshness. Medium in body, with pretty floral top notes, the Langhe Nebbiolo is terrific. I especially admire its vibrancy considering the vintage.
