Barolo Rive

Cork

The south-facing Specola vineyard takes its name from the observatory tower in the centre of the Rive MGA, which has also become the symbol gracing all of Luigi Oddero’s labels. An exquisite nose wafts with raspberry compote, strawberry blossom and Earl Grey tea. The juicy red fruit core is swathed in fine, chalky tannins which increase in volume gracefully across the palate. A burst of blood orange keeps it buoyant, and all that youthful energy makes me want to drink this now – but it has legs for another dozen years. The finish just keeps on going. Very classy.
