According to widespread opinion, the Vigna Rionda Cru is the ultimate representation of Barolo of Serralunga. Many people share this opinion.

And it is an opinion often supported by the Barolo wines made here. This said, in certain respects these same wines are very different from the acknowledged characteristics of this municipality.

Vigna Rionda: the story of a legendary Cru
An analysis of historical documents relating to the area indicates that, prior to 1340, Serralunga and Vigna Rionda were part of the Marquisate of Saluzzo.

1340
After 1340, Vigna Rionda changed hands and became the property of the Falletti family.
It belonged to them for centuries, until 1860.
1800
Years after the death of Juliette Colbert, the last member of the Falletti family, ownership of the Vigna Rionda was transferred to the Opera Pia Barolo. In the twentieth century, there was a succession of changes of ownership between local families.
1900
Massolino has been collecting its vineyards on this hill, either by exchange or purchase, since 1956.

Vigna Rionda:
mystery, wonder, discovery
In 1879, Giovanni Gagna, an ampelographer from Monforte, published a book entitled: “Inchiesta Agraria sulla fabbricazione del vino nelle Langhe”. The years of immense popularity of the Langhe were still far away in the future and the wine culture was profoundly different from what it is today. Yet, among the few vineyards mentioned and recognised in Gagna’s book on the production of wine in the Langhe, Vigna Rionda stands out as the bearer of excellent wines.
