Description
The Figli Luigi Oddero 2018 Barolo Specola shows a slightly ripe and robust profile with dark cherry, plum and a mid-weight texture. It shows an immediate personality with an open-knit texture with a nice sense of fruit weight and concentration. This Barolo has the acidity and richness to pair with wild fowl or game hen.

Critics reviews
Walter Speller 17++/20
La Morra. Grapes come from the Rive cru, which is always the first to be harvested because of its southern exposure, its elevation of 260 m above sea level and the sandy calcareous soils which heat up fast, speeding up phenolic ripeness and sugar accumulation in the berries. ‘You cannot produce a very complex Barolo, but rather a very fine Barolo.’ It isn’t known what clones are in this 60-year-old, mass-selection vineyard.A little more youthful ruby than their Barolo Classico. Profound cherry fruit with a touch of talcum powder. Proper concentration and ripeness on the palate, but still a little backwards. Beautiful balance and finesse with a long, fragrant, chewy finish.Drink 2022 - 2030Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (December 2021)
