Figli Luigi Oddero - Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' DOCG - 2016

Situated in the more elevated (350 m) southern part of Serralunga, Vigna Rionda is arguably its ‘grand cru’. The nutrient-poor, mineral-rich soils produce muscular, sinewy wines with crunchy fruit intensity. This wine had a fermentation/maceration time of around 26 days, with 3 years in botti followed by 2 years in bottle. Vibrant, taut red-berry fruit here with strawberry, cranberry and redcurrant on display. Racy acidity and the underlying minerality provide the structure to take it forward for the longer term. Really classic style. Importer's Notes
