Given the style of the year, I expected a more austere young Rionda. Today, it surprises with its relatively open-knit personality. There's plenty of depth and structure, but the 2019 is neither austere nor forbidding. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, white pepper and mint build nicely as this shows off its charms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner, Wine Advocate, June 2025: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Massolino 2019 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is quite special in that it offers dark fruit, tar, campfire ash and burnt ember. It shows the power and heft of the vintage with the concentration, although in appearance, the wine is shiny and bright. It has a very beautiful mouthfeel with a glossy sheen to the tannins. In fact, the palate is the best part of this expertly crafted Riserva. It comes together with more dark fruit and savory tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassolino notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with Nebbiolo grapes grown in our vineyard in the “Vigna Rionda” Me.G.A. in Serralunga d’Alba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e300 m above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal surface area:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3 hectares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecalcareous marly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage age of vines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eup to 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst year of production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1982\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification and ageing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etraditional Barolo, with long fermentation and maceration in oak vats at a temperature of around 30°C; aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 42 months, followed by a further 24 months in the bottle.\u003cbr\u003eNotes: the soil and microclimate of this hillside allow the production of exceptionally structured and complex wines.

A wine capable of complexity, longevity and structure, which come together with unparalleled elegance. A little patience is required for it to reach its full potential, which is why it stays in our cellars until its sixth year, the only wine in our range to do so, when it is released as a Riserva.\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend decanting and serving at a temperature of 18-20°C.\u003cbr\u003eAn ever-evolving wine, it pairs beautifully with meat dishes, rich in intense and persistent aromas and flavours, and with mature cheeses. It is also the perfect meditation wine for those who wish to take their time to enjoy it while relaxing, appreciating its many qualities in their purest form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853841948938,"sku":"CEW644","price":1025.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/Rionda.png?v=1728329493","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/massolino-barolo-riserva-vigna-rionda-2019","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
