Wine description
The Luigi Oddero's Barolo Rocche Rivera comes from the vineyard located in Castiglione Falletto (Piedmont), beneath the castle’s walls, facing South, at about 350 meters above sea level. The aromatic bouquet is unmistakable, intense and persistent. The tannic structure is extraordinary and makes the taste dry, soft and silky. It's a great wine with excellent aging potential. The annual production is about 9,000 bottles.
