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
Wine Enthusiast
Camphor, underbrush, spice and brandy-soaked cherry are just some of the aromas you’ll find in this gorgeous red. The full-bodied palate combines firmness with finesse, delivering raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, licorice and tobacco flavors framed in assertive, fine-grained tannins. It’s youthfully austere and needs time to fully develop but it’s already impressive.
Vinous
The 2015 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is a magnificent wine that shows all the magic this site is so famous for. All the Rionda signatures open in the glass. Sweet dark cherry/plum, lavender, spice, mint and pine meld together in a sensual, beautifully layered Barolo that pushes all the right buttons. The 2015 is going to need a few years to soften, but it is undeniably vivid and arresting in its sheer allure. (AG)
