Decanter 94pt

Terre del Barolo is a cooperative in Langhe, today focused on different MGAs produced under the Arnaldo Rivera brand. Graphite, smoky woodland and an almost-cola scent from the oak are allied to earthy strawberry and bitter orange notes. The attack is full of sucrosity, with very well handled refined, polished tannins. The wine is extracted, with a great mid-palate and a ripe and warming finish. A modern style but with Pinot-like elegance. High quality winemaking here.

James Suckling 95pt

Spiced cherries, raspberry bush, dried sage, ground spices and nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied with super fine, polished tannins that are compact and seamless. Firm with fresh red berry crunchiness in the middle. Refined and lingering. Power with delicacy.

Wine Advocate 94pt

With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2019 Barolo Vignarionda is a wine of power and structure that accurately reflects the personality of this village. There are layers of black fruit, dark cherry, metallic ore, rust and grilled rosemary. All the fruit for this wine comes from a single site with sunny southern exposures at 330 meters in elevation. The vines were planted in 2003, and only 3,400 bottles were made this vintage.

Wine Spectator 94pt

Licorice, vanilla and eucalyptus aromas and flavors swirl around the core of cherry in this lithe, solidly built red, which is very expressive, balanced and long, with oak spice accents lingering.
