Monforte d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 1961
1961 Oddero Barolo, pristine bottle with interesting neck tag. Gorgeous mature nose, dark cherries, brown sugar, leather, earth, charred wood. Silky palate, ripe sweet red fruits, dense mid palate, resolved tannins, perfect acidity. Excellent. #odderobarolo #oddero — 5 years ago

Convento Barolo Nebbiolo 2017
Presented double-blind. The wine is bright garnet moving towards an orangish rim and a transparent core; medium+ viscosity and no staining of the tears nor were there signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe Morello cherry, bruised raspberries, some tar, some red flowers, dried herbs and some dry gravelly earth for good measure. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high, nearly rip-your-face-off tannin and medium(+?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The fruit is generous on the palate and almost has a sweet attack. Due to the color, nose and structure, initial conclusions have me thinking Nebbiolo or Sangiovese but since I get no staining at all and the tannins are so high, I wasn’t comfortable calling Sangiovese. So I called Nebbiolo, from Italy, from the Langhe, 2020…and I stopped there. I thought it might be a Langhe Nebbiolo from a really great producer in Barolo and maybe the vintage was playing with me. Welp…I was more than in the ballpark. “Convento” is Luigi Oddero’s second wine made from fruit predominately sourced from La Morra. Drink now with some patience and through 2032. — 3 months ago

Barbera d'Alba 2019
フランチェスコ・ヴェルジオが醸造。
バルベーラとしては、高級な部類。
このクラスになると葡萄と樽の迫力のバランスのせめぎ合い感があるが、樽のニュアンスが柔らかで、すごくピュア。
こんなにピュアな果実味を感じられるバルベーラってなかなか無い。 — a year ago

Rocche Rivera Barolo Nebbiolo 2009
Heavily tannic but well integrated. Cherry, non French oak, and herbal funk. Great Barolo. — 5 years ago

Figli Luigi Oddero, the Barolo producer in La Morra currently markets one Barbareso and all of the fruit comes from approximately 5 acres of vines they own in the Rombone MGA in Treiso.
Popped and poured. The 2018 “Rombone” pours a light ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is developing and already very pretty with Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, dried earth and mild spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and grippy. A lovely Barbaresco showing the elegance and juiciness of the vintage. Drink now and through 2038.
