Oddero’s 2018 Barolo "Riserva Vignarionda" is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo, crafted from one of Barolo’s most revered vineyards, Vignarionda. Known for its steep slopes and exceptional exposure, Vignarionda produces wines that are both powerful and elegant, with the structure to age beautifully.

The 2018 vintage opens with aromas of ripe dark fruit—blackberry, plum—alongside floral notes of rose and violet, characteristic of Nebbiolo. Subtle earthy undertones of tobacco, truffle, and a hint of spice add depth and complexity to the wine. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, well-integrated tannins that provide structure, while the acidity keeps the fruit fresh and balanced. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality that reflects the unique terroir of Vignarionda.

This Barolo is ideal for pairing with roasted meats, game, or rich, truffle-infused dishes. While already showing beautifully, its structure suggests it will continue to evolve and gain complexity over the next decade or more. Oddero’s Riserva Vignarionda 2018 is a beautiful, age-worthy expression of Barolo, offering both power and finesse in every sip.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2018 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is a pretty wine. Gracious and light in body, it shows the modest structure of the year, and also fewer vineyard signatures than is typical for this wine. It is a very, very good Barolo that just lacks the stuffing and complexity of the very best years. Sweet floral and spice overtones on the finish convey quite a bit of Rionda sensuality." -Vinous

RP 96
"Only made in the best vintages, the Oddero 2018 Barolo Riserva Vignarionda reveals dark plum, licorice, tar, smoke, camphor ash and sweet cherry. Vignarionda absolutely embraces the power and complexity of Serralunga d'Alba, especially in this warm vintage. In fact, it almost goes overboard with a tightness and astringency to the tannins that will require more time in bottle, and even then, it might not ever completely integrate. Production is limited to 3,500 bottles." -Robert Parker

"Intensely fragrant, the 2018 Vignarionda Riserva from Oddero has almost intoxicating aromas of wild red berry, dog rose, culinary spice and camphor. On the full-bodied, firmly structured palate, notes of ground pepper, blood orange, coffee bean and crushed mint accent a red cherry core. Tight, close-grained tannins leave a clenching, grippy close. Drink 2028–2034. Abv: 14.5%"
