Description
Massolino Barolo Serralunga d’Alba Vigna Rionda Riserva 2020 is a distinguished single-vineyard Barolo made exclusively from Nebbiolo. Sourced from the renowned Vigna Rionda cru, it combines the power and structure typical of Serralunga d’Alba with remarkable aromatic finesse and long-term ageing potential. As a Barolo Riserva, it represents the traditional, patient style for which both the appellation and Massolino are celebrated.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Barolo shows a deep garnet colour that gradually takes on brick-red highlights with maturity. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with red berries, rose and other floral nuances before revealing more evolved notes of woodland, tobacco, dried herbs and spice. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with pronounced but polished tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, leaving echoes of fruit, spice and savoury earth. With its substantial structure and balance, the wine has an estimated ageing potential of approximately 15–25 years when stored in suitable conditions.
Production
The Nebbiolo grapes come from the prestigious Vigna Rionda vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, at around 300 metres above sea level. Old vines are rooted in calcareous marl with a medium-grained structure, a terroir that contributes to the wine’s concentration, aromatic precision and clearly defined tannins. Following traditional vinification, the wine undergoes a 25–30-day maceration in oak vats at approximately 30°C. It is then matured for 42 months in large Slavonian oak casks before an extended period of bottle ageing, allowing the wine to develop complexity while preserving its classical character.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent partner for rich antipasti, braised or roasted pork, game and mature cheeses. It is especially well suited to dishes with earthy, savoury flavours that can match its structure and depth. Serve at 18–20°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to come to temperature gradually. Decant for around one hour before serving to open the aromas and soften the tannins, particularly when enjoying the wine in its youth.
