What is Vignarionda?
Vignarionda is a designated cru (Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva) within the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. The vineyard has enjoyed an almost legendary reputation for decades and is considered one of the absolute benchmarks for traditional Barolo. Wines from Vignarionda are known for their intense tannin structure, dark aromas, and impressive longevity.
Origin and vineyards
Vignarionda is located in the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, a municipality known for its robust Barolo style. The location and soil structure produce Nebbiolo with maximum power and concentration.
Main features of Vignarionda:
- High-altitude vineyard with south to southwest exposure
- Calcareous marl soils (Sant'Agata Fossili)
- Low yields due to poor soils
- Slow ripening due to cooler conditions
- Very thick skins with high tannin concentration
These conditions make Vignarionda one of the most demanding, but also most rewarding terroirs of Barolo.
Styles and vinification
Barolo Vignarionda is known for its powerful, structured style that takes time to fully unfold.
Characteristic features:
• Very firm, sometimes angular tannins in its youth
• Darker fruit profile than Barolo from Barolo or La Morra
• Aromas of tar, leather, dried herbs and black cherry
• Great depth and concentration
• Long, serious finish
Vinification is often traditional:
• Long skin maceration
• Maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels
• Minimal intervention to let terroir speak
• Maturation of 24–36 months or longer
Why is Vignarionda known as one of the most powerful Barolo crus? Because the chalky soils and high altitude of Serralunga d'Alba produce Nebbiolo with exceptional tannin structure and concentration.
Storage and serving
• Vignarionda Barolo: 15–30+ years of aging potential
• Drinking young is not recommended without ample aeration
Serving temperature:
• 17–18 degrees
Decanting:
• Young vintages: 3–4 hours
• Older bottles: use carefully and briefly
