Note di degustazione
This special wine is made in honor of the vintner's mother, who lives in a pretty white house overlooking this vineyard site in Serralunga d'Alba. Closed with a wax capsule, the Giovanni Rosso 2020 Barolo VignaRionda Ester Canale Rosso is a generous expression of Nebbiolo with dark fruit, black licorice and crushed stone. The tannins are sweet in a vintage that saw good rain distribution throughout the year. This ruby-colored Barolo is a little bit softer overall, and it reveals a strongly fruit-driven finish.

Tasted from the barrel, the medium red 2020 Barolo Vigna Rionda is elegant and light on its feet and a bit softer in fruit with delicate notes of ripe strawberries, raspberries, candied flowers, and shows the pretty side of this vintage in this cuvee. Medium-bodied, very well-styled, and fresh, it floats on the palate and has a delicate mouthwatering feel to its clean finish. It’s going to be ready sooner than some of the more structured vintages that have preceded or followed it, but it has more depth than 2018.
The 2020 Barolo Vignarionda Ester Canale Rosso melds elegance with power in the way that is truly characteristic of Barolo. Blood orange, cinnamon, dried flowers, mint, white pepper, hard candy and kirsch fill out the layers effortlessly. Readers will find a Vignarionda of understatement and nuance more than power.
