Massolino Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Vigna Rionda Riserva Magnum 2020

Massolino’s Barolo Serralunga d’Alba Vigna Rionda Riserva 2020 is a monumental expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most revered crus. Presented in magnum format, it combines the power and longevity of Serralunga d’Alba with the refinement of Massolino’s traditional approach. With its prestigious Vigna Rionda origin and Riserva classification, this is a wine designed for both special occasions and long-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet in colour, the wine reveals remarkable aromatic complexity. In its youth, vibrant red berries and delicate floral notes emerge alongside hints of spice, while further ageing is expected to bring out more developed nuances of woodland, tobacco, leather and dried herbs. The palate is powerful yet finely balanced, with pronounced but polished tannins, layered dark and red fruit, savoury spice and an exceptionally long finish. The wine’s substantial structure gives it considerable ageing potential. Stored in a cool, dark cellar, it should develop gracefully over approximately 15–25 years, gaining further depth and tertiary complexity with time.

Production
The Nebbiolo grapes come from the renowned Vigna Rionda vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, situated at around 300 metres above sea level. The site’s medium-textured, calcareous marl soils contribute both aromatic concentration and the precise tannic framework typical of the area. Following traditional vinification, the must undergoes a 25–30-day maceration in oak vats at approximately 30°C. The wine is then matured for 42 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by extended bottle ageing before release.

Food & Serving
A wine of this depth is ideally matched with rich dishes such as braised beef, roasted or slow-cooked pork, game and hearty Piedmontese specialities. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses. Serve at 18–20°C, allowing the bottle to come gradually to serving temperature. Decant for around one hour before serving to help open the wine’s aromas and soften its youthful structure; older bottles should be decanted carefully to separate any sediment.

Producer
Founded in 1896, Massolino is one of the historic names of Serralunga d’Alba and is widely respected for producing traditionally styled Barolo with an authentic sense of place. The estate’s Vigna Rionda bottling is drawn from old Nebbiolo vines—around 50 years of age—and represents one of its most prestigious and age-worthy wines. Long maturation in large Slavonian oak and extended bottle rest underline the winery’s commitment to patience, balance and the classic character of Serralunga d’Alba.
