Six miles north of Benevelli, Guido Porro has been laser-focused on the slice of Barolo called Serralunga d’Alba for decades. A few years ago, Guido seized an opportunity to farm a tiny sliver of Serralunga’s historic Vigna Rionda vineyard. He paid dearly for half an hectare of what is the Romanée-Conti of Serralunga, and his rendition of this hallowed site is worth every cent. His other Baroli are outstanding. This one is a masterpiece you will want to enjoy at several stages throughout its decades-long life.
