A dense, solid red, whose cherry, currant, mint and graphite flavors are fused to the mouthcoating tannins. It's persistent and should find its equilibrium in about 5 years. Best from 2024 through 2045. 183 cases made.

Another highlight in this range, the 2014 Barolo Vignarionda is terrific. Sweet, perfumed and silky on the palate, it captures the captivating bouquet and enthralling beauty that are the signature of this site. Bright red cherry, raspberry, rose petal and mint all meld together in a Barolo of exquisite beauty. This is one of the best Vigna Rionda Barolos. The style here is still a work in progress, but this is a very, very pretty Barolo.
