Description
From the very first moments of fermentation of this wine, the winery knew it was dealing with a very high expression of Nebbiolo. A beautiful vineyard located in the commune of Neive, with excellent exposure and altitude. A rich, elegant, at times austere wine capable of combining marvellous pleasantness and tremendous ageing potential. A few bottles of a very special Barbaresco! Produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the company's vineyard located in the town of Neive.

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
