2016 Figli Luigi Oddero 'Rocche Rivera', Barolo DOCG, Italy
$124.99
“Rocche Rivera” is a cru within a cru, so to speak: a south-facing vineyard situated at 300 meters altitude within the Castiglione Falletto cru of Scarrone, and immediately adjacent to the fabled Rocche di Castiglione. Though Oddero owns a notable four hectares in Scarrone—in a contiguous plot stretching from the bottom to the top of the hill—“Rocche Rivera” comprises only the upper portion with the most favorable exposition; the middle part and the less-favorably-oriented upper sides are blended into the Barolo “Tradizionale,” and the lower-lying section is bottled as Langhe Nebbiolo.
