Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Spicy cherry nose with minerally hints of iron. Firm tannins upholstered with sappy cherry fruit. The tannins are a tad drying on the finish, and the palate ends a little austerely, but this wine conveys a distinct Nebbiolo message and needs more age to transmit this clearly. (WS)

The Figli Luigi Oddero 2016 Barolo is a wine of enormous depth and character. It delivers the best of the Nebbiolo playlist with sultry dark fruit at its core followed by lifted or high-toned aromas of dark spice, licorice, candied orange peel and spent embers. The aromatic intensity of the wine is fitted to the underlying power and focused tightness of the mouthfeel. This classic Barolo represents a blend of fruit from four sites spread over three comuni: Rive in La Morra, Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto and both Baudana and Broglio in Serralunga d'Alba. Some 25,000 bottles will be rereleased in October 2020.
The 2016 Barolo is powerful, deep and a touch rustic, but also so full of character. Macerated cherry, mint, dried flowers, orange peel and spice all open up in the glass. The 2016 remains wild, savory and not especially polished. Even so, there is a lot going on here.
