About Rionda
Vigna Rionda is a relatively large, lacuna vineyard that Guido Porro inherited from Tommaso Canale along with two other producers. Porro got his wish to have the lowest section of the vineyard because of the cooler temperature and lower risk of drought conditions. The vineyard that sits below the Castle of Serralunga was replanted and the first vintage was released in 2011.
