In 2016, the level of this wine was so extaordinary that the family decided to release it as Riserva. The wine comes with a black label and is packed in beautiful, sealed black wooden boxes of six, a real collector's item!

Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2016 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is absolutely stunning. Deep and statuesque in bearing, the 2016 captivates all the senses from start to finish. A whole range of Rionda aromatics soars out of the glass. Silky and yet powerful, gracious and yet full of gravitas, the 2016 captures all the contrasts that make Barolo such an alluring wine. Rose petal, lavender, red/purplish fruit, spice and new leather lend striking nuance to this hypnotic Barolo from Massolino." 97/100

Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): “Packaged with a special black label, the Massolino 2016 Barolo Riserva

Vigna Rionda is only released in the best vintages. Showing the power

and the determination of Serralunga d'Alba, the wine is redolent of

dried berry, lots of rusty earth and fragrant red rose. These are the

typical aromas of this vineyard, and this wine presents them with

impeccable integration. To the palate, this Riserva remains open-knit,

tightly structured and broad in scope."
