GUIDO PORRO BAROLO VIGNA RIONDA 2019

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Guido Porro is no longer an under-the-radar-superstar. Reviewers have been referring to him in this manner for years now but the truth is he is a bona fide out in the open superstar, offering remarkably beautiful, traditionally styled Barolo from the premier commune of Serralunga. Not only that, he remains almost alone when it comes to his pricing which seems to be stuck in a time warp. Guido himself is an uncomplicated and intuitive farmer/winemaker. He is deeply aware of the importance of his holdings on the premium slopes of Serralunga but his winemaking style has changed little to what his father before him practiced and while for a long period, this put traditionalists like him on the outer, these days this styling is most definitely back in favour.

Showing structure, class, finesse and focus, the gorgeous 2019 Vigna Rionda from Guido Porro is a show stopper. On the delicious palate, notes of cinnamon, star anise, truffle and saline accent a juicy raspberry core. Firm, refined tannins and bright acidity keep balanced and energized. Drink 2029-2049. (98) KERIN O'KEEFE
