Wine description

The Luigi Oddero's Barolo Specola is named after the Specola Tower built by Luigi Parà and located in the Rive Cru. The vineyard is located in the Cru, Rive di Santa Maria, in La Morra (Piedmont). It has an excellent tannic texture that results in a extraordinary length and persistence, over a soft, dry and silky taste. This is an age-worthy Barolo, especially in the best vintages.
