Score 88/100 · Drink 2017-2022, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2017

The 2016 Barbera d'Alba is a plump and juicy red wine with an inky-dark appearance. The wine is buoyant and fragrant, and that aromatic purity comes from the very heart and soul of the quality fruit produced in this balanced vintage. You really feel the Barbera grape here with no extra bells or whistles. The finish is raw and vinous. Some 40,000 bottles were produced.

Massolino's 2016 Barbera d'Alba is an absolutely delicious, plummy Barbera to drink now and over the next few years, while the juicy dark cherry and plum fruit flavors retain their freshness. In 2016, Massolino's Barbera is truly delicious.
