The history of the Massolinos and their wine is linked to the history of Serralunga d'Alba in 1896 when Giovanni founded his winery. Giovanni is the first to bring electricity to the town. An enterprising, tenacious, and creative man, the progenitor of a family that has made the combination of inspiration and tradition a reason for pride. Look at our historical labels or discover the excellent vintages.
