For Alessandro, the soil here exudes a faint aroma of organic fertiliser. This note is not a flaw, but a virtue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo fully appreciate this wine, one must study its \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e and give it time. Ideally, one should open at least one bottle per year to fully understand Vigna Rionda, considered one of the most extraordinary Barolo \u003cem\u003ecrus\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside Cannubi and Cerequio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarolo, the king of Italian wines:\u003c\/strong\u003e the territory where Barolo is produced covers 11 small villages, namely Barolo, which gives it its name, La Morra, Verduno, Serra Lunga d'Alba, and Castiglione Falleto. To be considered a Barolo, it must comply with several rules, the most important being ageing for a minimum period of 38 months, extending to 62 months for Riserva. Barolo is a wine that improves with bottle age, so it is advisable to keep it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e grenadine colour and orange reflections, intense and ethereal aroma.
