Vigna Rionda Riserva Etichetta Nera Barolo docg Massolino 2016

Barolo Vigna Rionda Etichetta Nera by Massolino is the most prestigious creation of the Winery, and represents the highest expression of both that magnificent vineyard and the outstanding vintage. Vigna Rionda gives its name to the peculiar shape and the perfect sun exposure; it's considered as the best Winery vineyard and is defined as the "Great Italian Cru". In the glass, it is bright and intense, with a beautiful garnet red colour. The bouquet is complex, rich, full-bodied, with floral and spiced notes besides hints of withered rose, coffee, strawberry and licorice. The sip is powerful, structured and elegant, with an eveloping tannic texture. Barolo Vigna Rionda Etichetta Nera by Massolino has a great ageing potential and is recommended with grilled red meat, braised game, matured cheese or first courses with meat or mushrooms sauces.

The history of the cave is connected with that of Serralunga d’Alba. Giovanni founded his own winery in 1896: even now he is remembered, because he was able to give electrical current to his village. Today the cave is managed by Giovanni’s nieces, Camilla, Renato and Giovanni, that have followed the example of their predecessors. They produce a wine, that can be defined the mirror of tradition and of a territory, where it grows.
