Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it layers ripe red cherry and wild raspberry with rose petals, violets and dried herbs. Licorice, sweet tobacco and earthy mineral notes add complexity, while vibrant acidity and firm, refined tannins carry a long, savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Producer \u0026amp; Vineyard\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourth-generation winemaker Guido Porro follows traditional methods that emphasize vineyard character and Nebbiolo purity.

Still youthfully austere with racy tension, the structured, elegant palate delivers red cherry, strawberry compote, nutmeg and licorice set against a backbone of close-grained, velvety tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and energized. An incredible showing. Drink 2036-2051.

Despite the young age of vines, this exhibits extraordinary profundity, character and breed. It unfurls slowly with heady florals, toasted hazelnut and smoky incense. The palate is still tightly knit around a matrix of sweet, rich berries, tangy pomegranate, violet and chestnut. Long, silky tannins are seamlessly integrated but not ready to yield their commanding grip. Piercing and persistent in length. Soulfully satisfying, this is among the top wines of the vintage.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, 97 Points · 2021:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The 2021 Barolo Vignarionda is a total knockout. Crushed rose petal, kirsch, mint, blood orange, sweet spice and candy are all beautifully lifted. This is the first Porro Rionda that captures the haunting inner perfume, the sweetness, the finesse that are all at the heart of what makes Rionda one of the very top sites in Barolo.

Aromas of wild raspberries, licorice, alpine herbs, and dark stones emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied but expansive on the palate, it brings forward mouthwatering energy with bright acidity and ripe tannins. Sweet citrus and mineral notes carry through the long finish.
