Why this bottle matters

Vigna Rionda is the most storied cru in Serralunga d'Alba — the vineyard behind Bruno Giacosa's legendary Collina Rionda Barolos — and Oddero's Riserva is drawn from old vines within it, made only in exceptional years and released after roughly a decade of ageing. This is the estate's most serious wine, produced in tiny quantity; in magnum, rarer still.

Cellaring perspective

In magnum the wine ages more slowly and more evenly than in bottle, which for a Barolo of this structure means a longer life and a later peak. A format for the cellar rather than the table, and one that will outlast most of what sits beside it.

What does the fill level and condition tell you about this bottle?
