2022 Massolino Barbaresco

The Massolino 2022 Barbaresco shows a light ruby appearance and a pretty luminosity. The wine is not too intense aromatically, but it does give a good showing of cassis, redcurrant and wild cherry. There are etched mineral notes at the back with blue flower and lilac. This Barbaresco is delicate and finessed, despite the hot vintage. It does a good job of capturing the quieter and less exuberant side of 2022.
