Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Luigi Oddero, Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva, 2016

Vigna Rionda is one of the four or five undisputed Grand Crus of Barolo and 2016 has already reached legendary status after just a handful of years. A wine of profound richness and depth and dark tar-like licorice notes. Authoritative in style with bound up blackcurrant and leafy-minty notes too – it is long and finessed. The revered soils of Vigna Rionda add a saline streak to the bassy thrum of acidity. Aged for 3 years in 35hl barrels. Held back in bottle for release in 2024.

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.
