Product Notes

Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is a sublime Italian wine that hails from the esteemed region of Piedmont. Renowned for its depth, this premium wine displays impressive layers of ripe black fruit, exotic spices, and a hint of earthy truffle on the nose. On the palate, you'll find an elegant balance of tart cherry, liquorice and smoky undertones, encapsulated in smooth, velvety tannins. A sophisticated finish makes the experience feel like a grand crescendo. This top-tier Barolo breathes an intense, ruby-red colour and easily matures over time, boasting an unforgettable character and high cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

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.
