"The 2016 Barolo Vigna Rioda is classy, elegant and polished.  Silky and translucent in the glass, the 2016 possesses striking nuance to match the sensuality that is at heart of what Rionda is all about.  It will be interesting to see how this wine develops as the vines get older." 

Importer Notes: 

"Six miles north of Benevelli, Guido Porro has been laser-focused on the slice of Barolo called Serralunga d’Alba for decades. A few years ago, Guido seized an opportunity to farm a tiny sliver of Serralunga’s historic Vigna Rionda vineyard. He paid dearly for half an hectare of what is the Romanée-Conti of Serralunga, and his rendition of this hallowed site is worth every cent. His other Baroli are outstanding. This one is a masterpiece you will want to enjoy at several stages throughout its decades-long life." - Kermit Lynch
