The chiseled palate is radiant, delivering juicy Marasca cherry, spiced cranberry and licorice while firm, fine-grained tannins provide taut support. Bright acidity keeps it racy, focused and balanced. It beautifully proves that even in challenging vintages, great producers can make great wines.In BondSG$1,360.00 -

The 2016 Barolo Vigna Rionda is a dark, powerful and rather burly Barolo, especially for this site. The inner sweetness of Rionda is there, but it feels imprisoned by huge tannins that give the wine a feeling of impenetrability.In BondSG$1,830.00 -

The 2017 Barolo Vigna Rionda is another attractive wine in this range. Supple, forward fruit and beams of incisive tannin need time to fully come together. Rose petal, cinnamon, blood orange and crushed raspberry develop with a bit of coaxing. There is good depth to the 2017, but when it comes to Vigna Rionda, one of the greatest vineyards in the world, there just has to be more complexity and character.In BondSG$1,375.00 -

Giampaolo Pira's 2003 Barolo Marenca is gorgeous. Dark red cherries, plums, menthol, smoke and dried roses meld together effortlessly in the glass. The 2003 is remarkably young for its age, but there again, we are in Serralunga. If opened today the 2003 needs a lot of air to allow the searing tannins to soften. The 2003 is pretty much mature, but it has enough depth to drink well for another 5 maybe 10 years. This is a fabulous showing for the year.In BondSG$908.00 -

The 2013 Barolo Marenca is dark, plush and inviting. As always, the Marenca is a Barolo of notable textural breadth and volume. Hints of mocha, leather, spice and grilled herbs add aromatic nuance to the dark-fleshed Nebbiolo fruit, but it is the wine's structure and overall depth that stand out most. Pira's Marenca has a way of developing beautifully in bottle and often surprises over time. I would cellar it for at least a few years.In BondSG$136.00 -
