From: 2021 Barolo Part Two: Restless Energy (Sep 2025)
The 2021 Barolo Vignarionda is a total knockout. Crushed rose petal, kirsch, mint, blood orange, sweet spice and candy are all beautifully lifted. This is the first Porro Rionda that captures the haunting inner perfume, the sweetness, the finesse that are all at the heart of what makes Rionda one of the very top sites in Barolo. Readers will find a wine of beguiling complexity and class.
- By Antonio Galloni on September 2025
Guido Porro turned out a striking set of 2021 Barolos. In the past I have found the wines often a bit diffuse and lacking focus. Not the 2021s. The wines are deep, layered and super-expressive. Porro’s Barolo Vignarionda is his best yet. Don’t miss it.
