"Situated in the more elevated (350 m) southern part of Serralunga, Vigna Rionda is arguably its ‘grand cru’. The nutrient-poor, mineral-rich soils produce muscular, sinewy wines with crunchy fruit intensity. This wine had a fermentation/maceration time of around 26 days, with 3 years in botti followed by 2 years in bottle. Vibrant, taut red-berry fruit here with strawberry, cranberry and redcurrant on display. Racy acidity and the underlying minerality provide the structure to take it forward for the longer term. Really classic style."
