Description
Still red Barolo DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Figli Luigi Oddero. 100% Nebbiolo, 2018 vintage. A Barolo born from the passion and tradition of a family that has cultivated the Langhe region for generations. The historic vineyard takes its name from its shape: vigna rionda or round. An amphitheater of rows completely exposed to full sun. Fermentation with maceration for a period of 16–20 days, using indigenous yeasts. Aged in medium-sized French oak barrels for a period of 36 months. Bottled, it ages for an additional 24 months before being released. Intense, ethereal, very persistent aroma with spicy notes of undergrowth, licorice, and dried flowers. Bright garnet red color, with light orange reflections after long aging. Dry, full-bodied, and well-structured flavor.

Luigi, while busy experimenting with and planting international varieties, always gave preference to the Langhe’s native variety, Nebbiolo, and to all the other local traditional grapes, such as Barbera, Dolcetto and Freisa. In more recent times, he kept pursuing Barolo’s traditional winemaking method by using large barrels.
Luigi was not only a winegrower. Driven by the passion for his land, he also grew hazelnut and peach trees and other typical fruits of the Langhe hills.
Today, after Luigi’s death, the winery is managed by his wife Lena and children Maria and Giovanni, who were named after their great-grandparents, with whom the winery’s history began. And so, tradition represents continuity, the common thread running through the past, present and future. Read more
