This 2021 Barolo Vigna Rionda from Guido Porro, hailing from the structured Serralunga d’Alba sub-region, is a powerful expression of Nebbiolo. On the nose, expect intense aromas of sour cherry, red currant, rose petals, and violets, interwoven with classic Barolo notes of tar, licorice, and a subtle minerality. The palate is full-bodied and robust, showcasing firm, high tannins and bright acidity. Flavors echo the aromatics, with concentrated red fruits, evolving into more savory notes of tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and a distinctive earthy complexity. The finish is long, persistent, and highly structured, promising great longevity.
