This bottle predates one of Piedmont's most consequential family splits. The Oddero brothers, Giacomo and Luigi, ran the historic family estate together until 2006, when they divided the cellar and Luigi launched his own label, Figli Luigi Oddero. The 2001 Vigna Rionda was therefore born under the unified Oddero roof and later carried into the Luigi line, which makes it both a piece of family history and a piece of Serralunga history. Vigna Rionda is one of Barolo's most legendary crus, a steep south-facing parcel in Serralunga d'Alba that produces some of the most perfumed, structured Nebbiolo in the region, and 2001 is one of the great classical vintages. Twenty-four years on, fully mature and drinking at peak.

"Classic aromas of well-aged Barolo such as forest floor, leather, tar and dried rose come to the forefront on the gorgeous 2001 Vigna Rionda from Luigi Oddero. A quintessential expression of the celebrated vineyard and the fantastic vintage, it’s classically crafted and shows winemaker Luigi’s delicate hand, delivering dried cherry, spiced cranberry, blood orange, tobacco and salty mineral notes including iron and saline. It’s elegantly structured and shows great strength and finesse, with taut, refined tannins. Still fresh acidity keeps energized and balanced. An exquisite wine at its peak drinking window." —Kerin O'Keefe

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo over creamy polenta; tajarin shaved with white truffle; roast pheasant with chestnuts and sage; aged Parmigiano Reggiano with mostarda; wild boar ragu over hand-cut pappardelle.

Tasting Profile

Dried rose petal, tar, leather, dried cherry, and forest floor. Resolved tannins, vibrant acidity, and a deeply savory, balsamic finish of remarkable length. Quintessential mature Serralunga.
