Massolino Moscato d'Asti 2022

Given its luxurious beginnings, Italy's Massolino Moscato d'Asti is as fine of a moscato as one can find. Growing from a extremely small plot of land (1.5 hectares), this Moscato is hand harvested from the calcareous soils of Serralunga d'Alba. The wine that results is savoury and complex, not to mention extremely delicious.

The 2022 is a chip off the old block. It’s meadow-fresh and intensely flavoured, with beautifully articulated white fruits, chamomile tea and perfumed florals, accompanied by a buoyant mouthfeel, chalky structure and tonnes of energy. Hard to fault this. Superb with desserts or with somewhat spicy and mature cheeses.

There are many great things to write about Massolino, a family winery based in Serralunga d'Alba. As I reflect on these wines, I am struck by the harmony and perfection of the overall portfolio: the clear identity of each product and its placement within the Massolino quality pyramid and the crescendo of wines that culminates with a truly memorable single-vineyard Barolo. The portfolio has a few unexpected surprises too, such as a very elegant Moscato d'Asti. - Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
