Description
Still red, Barolo DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Massolino - Vigna Rionda. 2017 vintage, 0.75 l bottle. A Barolo Riserva made in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Vigna Rionda vineyard. The Massolino winery has been producing wine since 1896, with passion and tenacity. Fermentation and maceration are prolonged in oak vats, followed by aging in Slavonian barrels for 42 months, followed by 24 months in bottle. It reveals a wide range of sensations, broad and enveloping, ranging from those of the early years, more red fruit and floral, to the more evolved aromas of undergrowth, tobacco, and spices that emerge with aging. Deep garnet red in color. A wine capable of complexity, longevity, and structure, blended into an unparalleled elegance.

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
