2018 Barolo Vigna Rionda, Guido Porro, Piedmont
Dry | Red | Still | 13%
In the heart of the Cru - in the historic part of the vineyard - but they planted it in 2011. Much deeper and darker. Purity on the nose, balsamic element to this, too. Plenty of exotic spice. The palate is weightless but builds, and there’s an almost Grand Cru Burgundy level of effortless concentration. The tannins then build, more and more, and so saline and long.
