Opening with a lifted fragrance of red cherry, wild berries and gentle spice, the 2014 Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva glides between delicacy and power, layering rose, tobacco and a touch of mint over a firmly structured core. The cooler, lighter-hearted vintage shows in the wine’s transparency and precision, yet the Vigna Rionda site still brings impressive depth, dark fruit concentration and a long, tightly tannic finish that begs for time in the cellar or a hearty meal at the table.

Massolino’s Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva is the estate’s proudest wine, a traditional, long-aged Barolo from the legendary Vigna Rionda cru in Serralunga d’Alba, where old Nebbiolo vines on marly limestone give a uniquely deep yet finely etched expression. Fermented in oak vats and matured for years in large Slavonian casks before extended bottle age, it marries formidable structure and longevity with an uncommon elegance, unfolding from vivid red fruits and flowers in youth toward haunting notes of underbrush, tobacco and spice with time.
