Massolino – Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva Etichetta Nera 2016

Description

Characteristics: Dark Cherries, Powerful, Complex

Description: Vigna Rionda is arguably the most revered vineyard of Serralunga, and the source of some of the greatest, finest and most long-lived Barolo of the region. The Massolino family took ownership of their first parcel in 1956 and new parcels were purchased in 1967, 1985, and 1987, taking Massolino’s holding to the 3.5 hectares of vines (two are planted to Nebbiolo) they own today. 2016 was an epic vintage, producing a stream of breathtaking wines. This is clearly a very special Vigna Rionda. It’s a rich, layered wine of enormous depth and power, yet also great finesse. It’s unique, perhaps a little like 2010 or 2004, but with more structural power.
