Tasting notes
Aldo Fiordelli · Decanter · 95
The Ester Canale vineyard was mostly replanted in 2011. The 2014 vintage was tricky, but here the glass shines a pale ruby-garnet colour, expressing perfumes of rosehip, wild strawberry and blood orange, enhanced in complexity by liquorice spice. Its style is more elegant than powerful, with grainy yet ripe tannins and well-integrated acidity.

The 2014 Barolo Vigna Rionda is the best wine Davide Rosso has made yet from his holdings in Vigna Rionda. Translucent and deeply expressive, the 2014 hits all the right notes. Rose petal, dried herb, spice and bright red-toned fruit take on that inner sweetness and perfume that is arguably the single most distinctive Rionda attribute. In the glass, the 2014 is nervous and also quite persistent, which is to say very much in the style of the year.
Drink 2019 - 2034
