Poderi Oddero Vigna Rionda, Barolo Riserva DOCG, Italy 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles paired with a tangy fruitThe 2017 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is lovely, understated and very pretty. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint and orang peel emerge, but only with great reluctance. That's probably a good thing for its long term aging prospects. Readers should not expect an easygoing Barolo by any means. 95 pts Vinous
