Description

The Parafada vineyard, classified as a "1st category subzone" in Renato Ratti's primordial mapping of the 1970s, is located in the heart of the western side of the town of Serralunga d'Alba, between the towns of Lazzarito and Gabutti. It is a vineyard whose prestige is the tangible expression of the Massolino family. From this vineyard comes a Barolo of great personality, with solid, sweet tannins and olfactory tones reminiscent of tobacco and liquorice.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1896
  • Oenologist: Franco Massolino, Roberto Massolino
  • Bottles produced: 460.000
  • Hectares: 57
Proud producers of Barolo, Barbaresco and the typical wines of the Langhe, we were lucky enough to be born in Serralunga d’Alba, an area of absolute excellence in the geography of great Italian wines.
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
