TASTING NOTES

Massolino Barolo DOCG Vigna Rionda Riserva has a bright garnet red colour. This truly unique wine reveals multiple broad and enveloping sensations, ranging from those of the early years. Vigna Rionda Riserva bouquet is focused primarily on red fruits and flowers, to the more evolved sensations of brushwood, tobacco and spices that develop with age. This wine is a harmony of captivating nuances that are released and evolve slowly in the glass.

Vigna Rionda is a unique Barolo, impossible to be described in just a few lines. It is hard to compare it with others, even those from the Serralunga area. It is a wine capable of complexity, longevity and structure, which come together with unparalleled elegance. A little patience is required for this wine to reach its full potential, which is why it stays in the producer’s cellars until its sixth year. Vigna Rionda is the only wine in the Massolino range to do so when it is released as a Riserva.
Therefore, decanting is recommend and serving at a temperature of 18-20°C.

PAIRINGS

Vigna Rionda Riserva, as an ever-evolving wine, pairs beautifully with meat dishes, rich in intense and persistent aromas and flavours, and with mature cheeses. It is also the perfect meditation wine for those who wish to take their time to enjoy it while relaxing, appreciating its many qualities in their purest form.
