    The Massolino vineyard stretches across limestone and clay slopes, typical of the Barolo region. The mineral-rich soil gives the grapes a unique character. Sustainable viticulture practices help preserve the ecological balance and optimize the quality of the grapes. The climate, with hot summers and cold winters, promotes a slow and even ripening of the Nebbiolo, guaranteeing complex aromas and a beautiful tannic structure.

    Owner and history

    Today, the estate is run by the Massolino family, who embody passion and a commitment to excellence. Proud of their heritage, the owners work with a dedicated team to produce wines of exceptional quality. Their vision is to create wines that reflect the terroir and history of their region, while incorporating sustainable practices for future generations.

    Vinification and aging

    The Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2016 is crafted with meticulous care. The hand-harvested grapes are destemmed before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 36 months in oak barrels, followed by a period of bottle aging. This traditional process allows the aromas to develop while preserving the terroir's character. The wines are then bottled unfiltered to maintain their authenticity.
