Barolo Vigna Rionda 2018, Figli Luigi Oddero
A profile of extreme elegance, vertical and balsamic. On the nose, crisp red fruits, sweet spices, withered roses, and mineral notes emerge. On the palate, it is agile and profound, characterized by silky, sculptural tannins and a noble freshness that propels the sip towards a savory finish of rare nobility.
Barolo Vigna Rionda 2018, Figli Luigi Oddero
The 2018 Barolo Vigna Rionda from Figli Luigi Oddero is a monument to sculptural nobility, an interpretation that celebrates the most legendary cru of Serralunga d'Alba through the lens of a delicate and graceful vintage. Under the masterful guidance of Francesco Versio, the Rionda expresses an aristocratic verticality that avoids mere muscularity. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of ethereal complexity: notes of pomegranate, blood orange, and tea rose petals merge with deep scents of blond tobacco, incense, undergrowth, and a chalky mineral trace of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is silky yet vibrant, supported by a noble acidic backbone and sculptural tannins, very dense and with such a fine texture that it feels powdery, closing on an endless, savory finish of absolute nobility.
