Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Luigi Oddero, Barolo, Rocche Rivera, 2014

A fabulous a little known plot that is a continuation of the famous Rocche vineyard of Castiglione sitting above and next to Roagna’s Pira. The poor soils and east facing exposure make for a wine that favours elegance over power. Startlingly vivid, beautifully crystalline, red alpine berry fruit, gently scented, silky but with nerve and grip too, haunting, pure and stylish. Gorgeous.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2014 Barolo Rocche Rivera(from the Scarrone cru) packs a serious punch in its deceptively midweight frame. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, hard candy, wild flowers and mint make a strong first impression before the firm 2014 Nebbiolo tannins kick in. Today, the Rocche Rivera is a bit rough around the edges and a touch wild, but it is certainly not lacking in personality.

Luigi Oddero

Luigi Oddero

An estate going places fast, we believe Luigi Oddero e Figli has the potential to be one of the very great estates of the Langhe. Its story started in 2006 when Luigi split off from the Oddero estate with 30ha. Luigi sadly passed away in 2009 but his wife Lena is now running the azienda alongside children Maria and Giovanni. Dante Scaglione, of Giacosa fame, is consultant winemaker and in 2016 Francesco Versio joined the team as full time head winemaker. Also formerly of Bruno Giacosa Francesco is considered one of the brightest young winemaking talents of the region. Methods are traditional here, long gentle extractions followed by ageing in large old oak casks for up to three years. Blessed with some truly great vineyards and some of the best winemaking talent around, the Luigi Oddero future looks bright indeed. Vivid, elegant wines with great intensity and purity of flavour.
