Barolo

Full

Cork

It takes a few swirls to shake off long ageing in large barrels, then scents of pure red cherry, chopped mint and an underlay of iron emerge temptingly. Sweet, ripe, tangy red fruit is loaded with freshness and framed by tactile, sandy tannins. Zesty acidity and pronounced minerality underscore this elegant, pristine and precise Barolo. Rocche Rivera is crafted from Figli Luigi Oddero’s highest holdings in the Scarrone MGA, reaching almost 350m. Directly neighbouring Rocche di Castiglione, the southeast facing site is characterised by grey-bluish marls with veins of sand.
