Massolino
- Vigna Rionda
Great-grandfather Giovanni Massolino
began the story of the Vigna Rionda-Massolino winery in
1896. Today, three generations of the Massolino family work
side by side, sharing the experiences and mindsets of different
eras to produce remarkable results.
Grandfather Giuseppe oversees the younger
generations, providing advice and guidance as each vintage
turns up new challenges. Brothers Giovanni and Renato run
the vineyards and cellar, respectively. Grandson Franco
crafts the wines, adhering to tradition while experimenting
with modern solutions constantly to improve the quality
of the wines. Their combined efforts result in a line of
well structured, robust Barolos that develop gracefully
when given the chance to age.
The estate's basic Barolo, created from
grapes grown in all of the Massolino vineyards, has been
in production since 1911 and is still consistent in its
excellent quality, even in difficult vintages. The single-vineyard
Barolo Margheria and Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva were both
produced for the first time in the 1980's. The Margheria
cru imparts woodland notes that are accentuated by traditional
vinification methods, while the unique terroir of the Vigna
Rionda enables the production of wines with a potential
rarely found elsewhere. The Riserva is not an easily understood
wine, but it will no doubt reward the trained and demanding
palate with a range of sensations that are simply unique.
Massolino's Moscato d'Asti is another great success: this
fresh, tempting dessert wine is also crafted through classic
vinification methods.
