Critical Acclaim:
*ANTONIO GALLONI 98 POINTS*:
" The 2017 Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva is flat out stunning. All the purest essence of Rionda comes through in a captivating Barolo that dazzles. sweet red cherry fruit, kirsch, rose petal, licorice and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that lift from the glass. Exotic and racy, the 2017 is a flat-out stunner."(AG)(11/2022)
*WINE ADVOCATE 97 POINTS*:
"This is a gorgeous wine, and although it could stand more years of aging, you're not wrong to enjoy it in the near or medium term either. The 2017 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is packed tight with dark fruit, but it also shows a delicately savory edge with black licorice and rusty metal. The wine's intensity and the mouthfeel are sublime." (ML)(08/2023)
*JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS*:
"Notes of wild strawberries and sour cherries with dried flowers and chocolate orange undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, very polished and fine-grained, showcasing subtle notes of red fruit with a mineral backbone. Even and balanced with a textural finish. Great to drink after 2025 but will age further."(JS)(07/2023)
