Massolino, Barolo, Vigna Rionda Riserva 2016

Massolino

Case Format: 6x75cl

Massolino follow a traditional style of winemaking, in which the wines are aged in large, old oak barrels to showcase the terroir unobscured by intrusive oak influence. This pairs beautifully with the fruit from the Vigna Rionda vineyard, where the soil is ancient and only found in Serralunga, in the southeastern part of Piedmont. It produces a distinct style of Nebbiolo, which is broader, more tannic and can be more complex than other parts of the region. This wine a true resemblance of that ancient land and offers a transparent reflection of this unique terroir.

2016 is the first vintage where the bottle is adorned with a black label, something the family decided to use to showcase the superior quality of the standout 2016 vintage.

“We consider [this] one of our greatest accomplishments in our Barolo wine library. Our 2016 Vigna Rionda expresses a vintage that will be revered and celebrated for years to come; one sure to carry an eternal mark in wine history.” Massolino Family

CRITIC REVIEWS

Wine Spectator

Cherry, strawberry, rose, iron and menthol flavors highlight this supple red. There's plenty of backbone, and woodsy notes chime in, but this is more about the expressive berry fruit and elegant side of Barolo, ending with a terrific finish. Nonetheless, this will require several years for the tannins to be absorbed. To be released September 2022. Best from 2025 through 2045. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Packaged with a special black label, the Massolino 2016 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is only released in the best vintages. Showing the power and the determination of Serralunga dAlba, the wine is redolent of dried berry, lots of rusty earth and fragrant red rose. These are the typical aromas of this vineyard, and this wine presents them with impeccable integration. To the palate, this Riserva remains open-knit, tightly structured and broad in scope. This is an impressive production of 12,000 bottles.
