A true innovator in Piedmont, Walter Massa has been instrumental in showcasing the potential of the Colli Tortonesiregion. Best known for reviving Timorasso, Massa also produces exceptional Barbera, with Monleale standing as a benchmark expression of the variety. Sourced from old vines planted on limestone-rich hillsides, the grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a long maceration before aging in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop depth and complexity while preserving its vibrant acidity. This Barbera is bold yet refined, with intense aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with notes of violet, tobacco, and sweet spice. The palate is structured and rich, with well-integrated tannins and a long, savory finish marked by hints of cocoa, earth, and balsamic undertones. A serious and age-worthy Barbera that showcases the depth of Colli Tortonesi.
