    The Tommaso Canale 2007 Barolo Vigna Rionda reveals lovely inner perfume and a sensual personality. Rose petals, licorice, tar, sweet cherries and spices are some of the nuances that emerge from the glass. The tannins are firm yet well integrated. This is a decidedly mid-weight, gracious style for the year. It will be interesting to see how the wine develops over the coming years, but it is unrealistic to place too high an expectation on a wine that was frankly made with pretty rustic means, in both the vineyard and cellar. Where Davide Rosso goes from here with his Rionda bottling is limited only by his own ambition. -- Antonio Galloni
