Description
Luigi Oddero e Figli Convento Barolo 2016
The Luigi Oddero estate possesses 35 hectares in La Morra, an acclaimed zone of Barolo known for producing some of the region’s most elegant and perfumed wines. Fermented just like Oddero’s ‘Tradizionale’ Barolo, with fermentation occurring in stainless steel and aging taking place in older oak, this is the essence of Nebbiolo and the essence of La Morra Barolo. The Convento ’16 is a lightly bricking cherry in the glass when the bottle is first opened but fills out into a brilliant, deep, clear red hue after an hour of air. It begins distinctly minty, with raspberry and red plum. A little clove and milled coffee bean waft over a woodsy smell of stripped bark.
