This wine displays all the classic notes and hallmarks of Moscato d'Asti... with the volume turned up a little. This is rich and heady, with lashings of 'grapey' character, elderflower and lychee hemmed in by an attractive note of sage and herbs. A sweet wine, this is the perfect after dinner sipper.

The Massolino family's history as winegrowers stretches back more than a century. A family-owned winery, from the wonderful UNESCO world heritage tapestry of vineyards in Italy's 'the Langhe'. The village of Serralunga d'Alba, was home to Giovanni Massolino in the late 19th century, when the estate was founded. Such a deep family heritage is richly intertwined with that of the whole region of 'Barolo'. With some of the most premium, priceless parcels of land, famous for Margheria, Parafada and the legendary vineyard Vigna Rionda, the wines are classic but inimitable. Massolino have a very distinct style that reflects their vineyards with a pure expression, especially that of Nebbiolo. A gift of nature. The family own 23 hectares of vines in Piedmont, and with Franco Massolino now at the winemaking helm, subtle, slightly more modern winemaking techniques are creeping into the winery. But don't worry, the team are firmly aware of their roots, and they produce arguably some of the finest cuvées in the region.
