Anselma Giacomo, Barolo Vigna Rionda, 1998
Anselma Giacomo's Vigna Rionda from another celebrated classical vintage of the 1990s. This small Serralunga family estate, founded by Felice Anselma and shaped by Giacomo from the 1940s onward, controls a coveted central section of Vigna Rionda, the south-facing calcareous-clay cru widely regarded as Serralunga's, and arguably Barolo's, most prestigious vineyard. The cellar practice is uncompromisingly traditional: long cement macerations, years in Slavonian botti, and a manual press most estates retired decades ago. The 1998 was a classical vintage that produced wines of fine perfume and excellent balance, often outliving expectations. Twenty-seven years on, this is a fully mature library bottle drinking in its prime, the tannic architecture of Vigna Rionda fully resolved into the dried-flower, tar, and truffle register of aged Serralunga.
