A classic blend of Nebbiolo from three villages, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga, the 2021 Figli Luigi Oddero Barolo is a beauty, starting with its aromas of red berry, blue flower and eucalyptus. The vibrant palate is elegant and youthfully austere - a great characteristic for a wine destined for long aging - featuring crunchy red cherry, blood orange, crushed mint and star anise. Taut, tightly wound but refined tannins provide support while bright acidity keeps it balanced and vibrant. Drink 2031–2041.
