The 2024 Massolino Dolcetto d’Alba is crafted from estate vineyards in the heart of the Langhe, where Dolcetto thrives on calcareous clay soils that enhance freshness and structure. The 2024 vintage emphasises balance and approachability, capturing the grape’s naturally vibrant character while maintaining clarity and depth. In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby colour with purple hues, immediately inviting and youthful. On the palate, it is generous yet composed, delivering ripe dark fruit without heaviness. Massolino’s restrained winemaking preserves varietal purity, avoiding excessive extraction or oak influence. The texture is supple, supported by moderate tannins and lively acidity that make the wine effortlessly drinkable. While designed for early enjoyment, it retains enough structure to evolve gracefully over the short to medium term. This is a quintessential Dolcetto d’Alba, offering authenticity, balance and everyday elegance at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003e– Fresh and fruit-forward\u003cbr data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1366\"\u003eAromas of ripe cherry, plum and blackberry are complemented by subtle floral notes, hints of violet and a gentle almond-like sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1688\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003e– Juicy and harmonious\u003cbr data-start=\"1534\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003eThe palate opens with vibrant dark fruit, supported by soft tannins, bright acidity and a rounded, vinous texture that remains lively and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003e– Clean and gently persistent\u003cbr data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1731\"\u003eA smooth, fruit-driven finish with light savoury undertones and a refreshing, balanced close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2086\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1848\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Bright and vivacious, this Dolcetto d’Alba shows refreshing acidity, tangy cherry fruit and lightly savoury, peppery nuances.
