The Massolino vineyard stretches across steep slopes, benefiting from an ideal climate for growing Nebbiolo. The clay-limestone soils, rich in minerals, give the grapes a unique aromatic complexity. Sun exposure, combined with temperature variations between day and night, promotes slow and optimal ripening of the berries. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, respecting natural cycles to produce grapes of exceptional quality.

The current owners, descendants of the founders, continue their ancestors' work by combining time-honored expertise with modern innovations. Their commitment to quality and respect for the environment is reflected in every bottle. Passionate about their terroir, they work with dedication to promote Massolino wines on the international stage.

Vinification and aging

The Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva 2017 is made using traditional methods, with fermentation in wooden vats. After extended maceration, the wine is aged for several years in oak barrels, allowing the aromas to develop harmoniously. This meticulous aging process gives the wine its structure and complexity, while preserving the authenticity of the terroir. Each step of the process is carried out with particular care, reflecting the expertise and passion of the winemakers of Massolino.
