Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2019

Product Description
The pinnacle of Massolino’s Barolo portfolio. Vigna Rionda, one of Barolo’s most revered crus, lies just outside the village of Serralunga d’Alba at around 300 metres elevation. Its soils—rich in limestone, iron, and minerals—are famed for yielding Nebbiolo of remarkable depth, perfume, and longevity. Reserved exclusively for their Riserva bottling, this vineyard is considered Massolino’s crown jewel, the purest expression of Serralunga terroir.

The 2019 vintage is the product of meticulous, traditional winemaking: a 25–30 day maceration, followed by 42 months in large Slavonian oak and a further two years of bottle ageing before release. The result is a Barolo of profound complexity and finesse—at once powerful and graceful, tightly coiled yet already expressive. This is a wine to cellar, evolving over decades into a benchmark expression of the appellation.
