Deep and statuesque in bearing, the 2016 captivates all senses from start to finish. A whole range of Rionda aromatics soar out of the glass. Silky and yet powerful, gracious and yet full of gravitas, the 2016 captures all the contrasts that make Barolo  such an alluring wine. Rose petal, lavender, red\/purplish fruit, spice and new leather lend striking nuance to this hypnotic Barolo from Massolino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner, Robert Parker, June 2022:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackaged with a special black label, the Massolino 2016 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is only released in the best vintages. Showing the power and the determination of Serralunga d'Alba, the wine is redolent of dried berry, lots of rusty earth and fragrant red rose. These are the typical aromas of this vineyard, and this wine presents them with impeccable integration. To the palate, this Riserva remains open-knit, tightly structured and broad in scope. This is an impressive production of 12,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassolino notes:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe history of our family has always been tied to Vigna Rionda, which remains one of the most exclusive and legendary vineyard crus in the world of wine.
