Description
Massolino's Barolo Margheria comes from a 1.5-hectare vineyard plot located 340 meters above sea level and facing south. The Massolino family is rightfully among the best interpreters of this Cru, which is a warm and expressive Barolo, characterized, on the nose, by peculiar mineral and iron notes and, on the palate, by an endless saline trail. This wine stays on the skins for about 20 days, whereas it ages 30 months in big Slavonian oak barrels and 18 months in the bottle.

With tenacity and passion, we have been making wine since 1896.
Azienda Agricola Massolino Vigna Rionda is the dream of our great-grandfather Giovanni, who founded the estate in 1896. In those days, it was a traditional Langa farm, producing fruit and vegetables, raising livestock and making wine.
Our family is firmly at the helm of the historic estate that inhaled the vibrant air full of change of the late 19th century and navigated the tides of the first half of the 20th century. Today, we face the new challenges of the 21st century, in the capable hands of the third and fourth generations.
We are Massolino Vigna Rionda and we are writing a legacy with our wines. Read more
