Massolino - Vigna Rionda Barolo

Massolino's classic Barolo DOCG blends grapes from different vineyards, a traditional style the estate has made since 1947, aged in large Slavonian oak casks.

Tasting notes

Garnet red with variable intensity depending on the vintage. A broad, variable bouquet ranging from spicy notes to sweeter, floral and fruity ones. Full bodied, classic and well structured on the palate.

Pairs well with

Best with red meats, particularly game, and dishes dressed with truffle. Also good with fresh egg pasta and meat sauce, risotto, and medium-mature cow's and goat's milk cheeses.
