Why We're Buying
Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva hails from one of the region's most cherished vineyards. The potent offering unfurls with deep lawyers of earthiness, berries, and waiflike tannins. As wine critic Robert Parker described it, "this is the ace in Massolino's rotation."
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2008 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda presents a classic palette of Rionda notes: rose petal, violets, savory herbs, mint and sweet spices. Dark, layered and beautifully perfumed throughout, the 2008 is compelling, even if it is naturally a bit compact at this stage. Here the tannin is a bit more firm than in the super-polished 2010. Needless to say, it will be interesting to follow the development of both wines over the coming decades.
