Tasting Note

Bright garnet red, this wine is very intensely floral in its youth and develops a seductive bouquet with age. Probably the most potent of all the Massolino wines, it perfectly summarises the essential characteristics of Barolo, with grand structure, excellent alcohol concentration and tannins capable of long ageing. The palate opens up gradually and becomes most expressive six years after harvest, when it is released for sale.

Product Notes

Massolino Barolo Riserva `Vigna Rionda` is a wine with an exceptional pedigree. Made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is exclusively grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, this wine is aged for five years, two of which are in oak barrels. What sets it apart is its origin: the Vigna Rionda vineyard, which is renowned for producing some of the finest Barolo in the region. The wine has a garnet red color with aromas of rose petals, dark cherries, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied with well-structured tannins and flavors of black currant, licorice, and leather. This is a wine to be savored on special occasions, perfectly paired with hearty meat dishes or mature cheeses.
