Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of
brick red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry and
violet followed by aromas of blackberry, raspberry, plum, rose, vanilla,
tobacco, licorice, cinnamon, cocoa, pink pepper and hints of menthol. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and
raspberry. A well made wine. This Barolo ages for 36 months in cask
followed by 24 months of aging in bottle.
