Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Appellation

Barolo

Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

The Oddero estate takes a flexible approach to releasing its Riserva bottlings, sometimes waiting up to 10 years after the vintage – the decision is based on the character of the year. It is a treat to taste the 2019 Vignarionda at this early stage, though it will certainly blossom over the next few years and promises a leisurely evolution beyond. It is scented with spicy balsamic notes, medicinal herbs, dusty sage, ash and a suggestion of iron. The palate is beautifully sculpted with exquisite balance of structure. It emphasises elegance over power, though not without the site’s signature rigour and youthful austerity. A core of minerals is waiting to explode and that acid races.

Wine Advocate

The Oddero 2019 Barolo Riserva Vignarionda comes from a site in Serralunga d'Alba. This wine is also quite powerful and rich with dark fruit, dried orange peel, apricot, clove, allspice and dusty earth. The tannins exhibit a moment of sweetness on the mid-palate but are otherwise silky and fine. This wine is poised for medium- or long-term drinking over the next 20 years. Production is 3,800 bottles.

Wine Spectator

Everything comes together in this enticing red: haunting flavors of cherry, rose and mineral, a silky texture and elegant profile, vibrant acidity for definition and drive, plus refined tannins that provide support. They add up to a complex and harmonious red, with a never ending aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2047.

What a delight it is to re-taste the 2019 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda. A wine of pure and total sensuality, the 2019 captures the essence of Rionda in its silky, perfumed personality and compelling inner sweetness. All the elements are so nicely balanced. This is pure and total class.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Barolo Riserva Vignarionda pours a medium red hue and reveals perfumed aromas of framboise, sweet licorice, lavender, and fresh earth. Medium-bodied, it reveals darker mineral tones, with supple ripe tannins and balanced acidity, and the wine remains elegant and composed through the finish. It should drink beautifully over the coming 15 to 20 years. Drink 2026-2046.

Winery Notes

Intense garnet-ruby red color, deep, limpid. Complex bouquet of dark fruit, blackberries, citrus and rose, balsamic notes of tobacco, liquorice and quina, with nuances of forest underbrush and wet limestone. In the mouth, the wine displays firm tannins, freshness, persistence and longevity.
