Description
What kind of wine it is
Dolcetto d’Alba Massolino is a still red wine from Piedmont with Denomination of Controlled Origin, authentically expressing the characteristics of the Dolcetto grape variety. To the eye, it displays a vibrant intense ruby red colour enriched by deep violet highlights. The bouquet is elegant, offering fresh and fruity notes. On the palate, it provides a broad and warm entry, revealing a pleasant concentration and a distinctly vinous character, resulting in a harmonious drink with a long and pleasant finish.
Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. This Piedmontese region is a prime location for viticulture, producing grapes with a unique profile. The Massolino winery has been cultivating its vineyards here since 1896, with constant attention to caring for the land. The wine faithfully interprets Dolcetto d’Alba, reflecting the pedoclimatic peculiarities of the area through a balanced and immediately enjoyable territorial character.
How it is produced
The vinification process enhances the purity of the Dolcetto grape, worked to preserve the original fragrance of the fruit. This approach results in a rich and concentrated texture, designed to highlight its immediate drinkability. To best appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to serve it between 14 and 16 degrees, possibly after a brief decanting. This red is a perfect companion for everyday meals, proving ideal with charcuterie boards or flavourful grilled red meats.

With tenacity and passion, we have been making wine since 1896.
Azienda Agricola Massolino Vigna Rionda is the dream of our great-grandfather Giovanni, who founded the estate in 1896. In those days, it was a traditional Langa farm, producing fruit and vegetables, raising livestock and making wine.
Our family is firmly at the helm of the historic estate that inhaled the vibrant air full of change of the late 19th century and navigated the tides of the first half of the 20th century. Today, we face the new challenges of the 21st century, in the capable hands of the third and fourth generations.
We are Massolino Vigna Rionda and we are writing a legacy with our wines. Read more
