"Odedi"

9.0

Brownish in color.

Pretty nose of dried fruits, coffee, black pepper, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

Still a bit closed and tight, and needs time in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it shows best with a lot of age.

Rich, yet elegant. Tangy and interesting. A good food wine at the moment.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were for 5 years in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

The label says Valentino on the top but the bottom says Podere Rocche dei Manzoni. This is a spectacular wine. Deep, rich and very alive. #2 WOTN. — 3 years ago

Last had this vintage about 4.5 years ago. Might have preferred slightly then. At cork pop this is lovely - very nice depth of fruit and lifting acid on the finish. With air the secondary / raisined notes take on a bit more prevalence. — 21 days ago

Fitting name for this wine as it definitely tastes “big”. Fairly round and robust flavor profile. Very good drying tannins.

Does not taste 20 yrs old but that’s a good thing as it still has freshness. — a month ago

This is brut zero rose.

The aromatic nose shows pink grapefruit, strawberry, lime, light yeast, and hint of ginger. The palate is vivacious yet poised with round acidity, not something I expected from brut zero. Gentle persistent mousses.

Blend of PN and chard with 60 months on lees. Rocche dei Manzoni was the first winery (and one of the few) from Langhe to produce sparkling wine in tradition method. — 2 years ago

Though oak is a bit too prominent this is a wonderful showing for the 99. At peak I’d say. Dense fruit, depth, balance, finish with terrific tertiary notes of classic tar, smoke, leather. Excellent. — a month ago

Beautiful wine. Almost as good as the 1978 Rocche dei Manzoni Riserva Barolo. The Produttori has known what they are doing for a long, long time!! — 3 years ago

Purple flowers. Dense violet and rose petal perfume. Elegant; some spice and nailpolish. A touch volatile which, while it is light and works in this elegant style, detracts from the overall drinking experience. — 3 years ago
