Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda 2012 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Nebbiolo red wine from the Barolo appellation of Piedmont, northern Italy. Vigna Rionda is one of the most iconic crus in Serralunga d`Alba, renowned for producing some of the most elegant and long-lived Barolo wines. On the 2012 from Massolino. "Underbrush, new leather, forest berry, dark spice and a whiff of fragrant blue flower are just some of the aromas you`ll encounter on this gorgeous, multifaceted red. Structured but exceedingly elegant, the delicious palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, liquorice and tobacco. It`s impeccably balanced, with noble tannins that lend tension and a velvety texture." Kerin O`Keefe, 2018
Readers will find a silky, nuanced Barolo in the 2012 Riserva Vigna Rionda. Rose water, orange zest, cinnamon, sage, mint and dried cherry are some of the many nuances that give the 2012 its aromatic top notes, and all of the elements fall into place effortlessly. Relatively open-knit for a young Rionda, this should drink well with minimal cellaring. The 2012 doesn`t quite have the explosive energy of vintages like 2010, 2013 or 2014, but it will offer tons of pleasure sooner than any of those wines. I loved it. - Antonio Galloni
