Simply the Barolo of Serralunga at the height of its potential. Barolo DOCG Vigna Rionda Riserva is the wine of which we are most proud.
Protagonist of the history of our company, Vigna Rionda is one of the most sought-after and prestigious Crus in our areas. We are not just talking about microclimate and soil: something happens on that hill and that something gives life to the Riserva Vigna Rionda, a truly unique wine. Produced with Nebbiolo grapes from our vineyard located in the Me.G.A. "Vigna Rionda" in Serralunga d'Alba.
To the eye:
deep garnet red.
On the nose:
it reveals multiple sensations, broad and enveloping, ranging from those of the early years, more on red and floral fruits to the more evolved ones of undergrowth, tobacco, spices that come with aging. It is a harmony of fascinating facets that are released and evolve slowly in the glass.
On the palate:
Vigna Rionda is a unique Barolo, impossible to contain its description in a few lines and is difficult to compare to others even in the Serralunga area. It is a wine capable of complexity, longevity and structure fused in an elegance that has no equal. It requires a little patience to express itself at its best and that is why, the only one in our range, it leaves the cellar in the sixth year of aging as a Riserva. It is advisable to decant it and drink it at a temperature of 18-20°C. A wine that is always evolving, it is excellent in combination with meat dishes, rich in intense and persistent aromas and flavors, with aged cheeses or as a meditation wine, for those who want to enjoy it while relaxing and appreciating all its many qualities in their maximum purity and with due calm.
