Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"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." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"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." -Monica Larner

"Serralunga d Alba. Bottle 29 of 3,900. Lustrous and just mid ruby. Complex and balsamic while very backward on the nose. Also saline undertones. On the palate, a stunning balance of red fruit, lively acidy and long, finely ground underlying tannins. A finely grafted, elegant Vignarionda that doesn t set on tannic power."

Decanter

"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."

"Camphor, pressed rose, new leather and pipe tobacco are just some of the aromas you'll discover on the gorgeous 2019 Vignarionda Riserva from Oddero. Showing the structured finesse the site is known for as well as the austere nature of this fantastic, classic vintage, the full-bodied palate delivers succulent red cherry, pomegranate, licorice and blood orange lifted by a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and energized. Drink 2031–2049." -Kerin O'Keefe
