Massolino
It's not often you have three working generations of winemakers under one roof. At Massolino, grandfather Giuseppe oversees sons Giovanni and Renato in the vineyards and cellar, as well as grandson Franco as he crafts the family's wines, including their exceptional Barolo.

Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva Dieci (X) Anni 1999
Made in vintages of the highest caliber, Massolino’s Vigna Rionda is aged for 3½ to 4 years in Slavonian oak. It is known for being a wine of longevity, realizing its complex persona over an extended maturation period. Vigna Rionda holds true to the concept of a Barolo riserva--it may be approached ten years into its life cycle, but only with the understanding that several years of maturation remain. Some vintages belie this ageworthiness upon release through their concentration--such as is the case with the '99.

Massolino Moscato d'Asti 2008
A very special, small production Moscato. Straw yellow with, persistent beads. The nose is tempting, fresh and intense with obvious peach, nectarine and sage overtones.
