On the nose, it offers a layered array of dark fruit and rose, interwoven with balsamic hints of tobacco, liquorice, and cinchona. The tasting reveals a \u003cstrong\u003emineral sip\u003c\/strong\u003e, dry and remarkably broad, supported by a lively freshness and \u003cstrong\u003esmooth tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that guarantee exquisite longevity, aided by long ageing in Austrian oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine lie in the famous \u003cstrong\u003eVigna Rionda cru\u003c\/strong\u003e in Serralunga d’Alba. The rows of vines stand at the top of the hill, at an altitude of 360 metres, where the southern exposure ensures perfect ripening of the clusters. The presence of vines nearly fifty years old ensures \u003cstrong\u003elow yields\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the glass a concentration and gustatory definition of the highest level. Oddero's meticulous work in the vineyard results in a \u003cstrong\u003elimited production\u003c\/strong\u003e of great prestige, also celebrated by the top awards from wine critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins in October with a selective \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation, enhanced by daily pumping over and wetting of the cap for almost a month, to encourage optimal extraction from the skins. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine ages for about forty months in Austrian \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e: a slow rest that carves its structure and tannic texture. Subsequent rest in the cellar at a \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures a harmonious evolution, defining a glass ideal for accompanying game dishes and aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oddero family, established in Piedmont since the 18th century, stewards the famous \u003cstrong\u003eVigna Rionda\u003c\/strong\u003e cru in Serralunga d’Alba. Situated at the top of the hill at an altitude of 360 metres, with full southern exposure, the \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric vines planted in 1972\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure very low yields and an exceptional expression of the terroir. Produced in only three thousand bottles per year, this Barolo Riserva represents a genuine oenological rarity. Its extraordinary longevity makes it ideal for exclusive \u003cstrong\u003evertical tastings\u003c\/strong\u003e that reveal its elegant evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oddero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47685767954603,"sku":"62407","price":261.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/oddero-barolo-vignarionda-riserva-2019_62407_1_8c57245f-f486-4038-8455-94caaab3a3a4.webp?v=1788272252","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/oddero-barolo-vignarionda-riserva-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
