The previous owner constructed an observatory tower (a “specola”) in the center of the Rive cru, atop which he would monitor his team working the vineyards below, bellowing instructions through a primitive megaphone. Luigi Oddero made this tower the symbol of his new winery, christening his bottling of Rive as “Specola.” Rive possesses fossil-rich soils typical of this sector of La Morra, and Oddero’s “Specola” comprises only the center of the cru, a south-facing amphitheater which yields intense fruit concentration and structural elegance along with extraordinary acidity and freshness. The tannins are well-integrated, and its beautifully textured flavors veer from macerated strawberries to warm stones to iodine—making for a complex yet highly approachable Barolo.
