Description

The 2020 Massolino Barolo Vigna Rionda Etichetta Nera Riserva is a rare Nebbiolo from the celebrated Vigna Rionda cru in Serralunga d’Alba. Only the second Etichetta Nera produced after the 2016 vintage, it shows an expressive nose of crushed cherry, dried rose and lavender, with bay leaf, sweet spice and subtle mineral notes.

On the palate, it is refined and structured with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and concentrated red fruit. Extended ageing in large oak barrels and bottle brings depth while preserving the perfume and character of Nebbiolo, leading to a long, elegant and savoury finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for serious Barolo collectors, with the Etichetta Nera reserved for outstanding Vigna Rionda vintages. Built for long-term cellaring, it pairs beautifully with braised beef, roast lamb, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto or mature cheeses.

About the region

Piedmont · Barolo

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
