Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2017 arrives from winemaker Marco Massolino in the celebrated Rionda cru, a commanding Barolo that showcases old‑vine intensity and meticulous cellar work and makes a strong case to buy now for collectors seeking classic Nebbiolo with proven ageing potential. This bottle announces pedigree and intent.

Dried rose, sour cherry and tar lead the sensory arc with sous‑bois, clove and iron‑tinged minerality; firm, refined tannins and lively acidity give a sculpted midpalate and a long, persistent finish that rewards decanting – Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva ’17 shows textbook complexity and tensile structure.

Pair with slow‑braised beef, truffle‑scented risotto or mature pecorino; ideal for milestone dinners, cellar rotation or contemplative tastings where nuance matters. Its layered depth and longevity make buying by the bottle or case a confident, rewarding investment.
