Review: "Rocche Rivera is a 2.5-hectare parcel inside the Scarrone cru located in Castiglione Falletto with sandy calcareous soils. The celebrated Rocche di Castiglione is located adjacent, and the Pira cru is directly above. Rocche Rivera enjoys an ideal position in one of the best-performing areas of the appellation in this classic vintage. The Figli Luigi Oddero 2016 Barolo Rocche Rivera is stunning, with a level of harmony and purity that makes an immediate and lasting impact. The wine shows pristine fruit aromas backed by wild rose, tar, ash and blood orange. Those aromas hang in perfect balance. The wine is firmly compact and solid in terms of mouthfeel, requiring a few extra years of cellar time to fully unwind. This beautiful 6,000-bottle release . . . . To clarify, the official name of this estate is Figli Luigi Oddero, although past reviews for this estate were listed under the names Luigi Oddero or Luigi Oddero e Figli. I've tried to clean up that confusion with these new entries. The estate has recently enlarged its winery and invested in new technology, but the historic vineyard holdings remain the same: Vignarionda, Scarrone (Rocche Rivera), Rive (Specula), and Baudana and Broglio in three comuni of the Barolo appellation. In Barbaresco, this estate farms in the Rombone cru in Treiso. The 2016 Barolo Rive Specula was not produced because of hail damage in that part of La Morra."
