‘Here's a wine that brings on the best of the 2015 vintage. This growing season that will be remembered for sunshine and warmth is distinguished by rich and concentrated fruit. The 2015 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Mondoca shows extra intensity and complexity with a quick assembly of wild fruit, rose, tarry smoke and flinty mineral aromas. There is a lot of depth and, more importantly, volume in this Barolo. The wine definitely veers toward the blacker and plummier side of the Nebbiolo spectrum. There is a lot of beautiful meat on these strong bones.’
96/100 Wine Advocate
‘The 2015 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Mondoca is a gorgeous, beguiling wine that is going to need time in bottle to be fully expressive. Deep and sumptuous in feel, the 2015 has so much potential. Time in the glass gradually brings out attractive floral and spice notes to play off the wine's sweet red cherry and red plum fruit. All of the transparent beauty of Nebbiolo comes through in this pretty and very promising Riserva from Oddero. The 2015 is all class.’
95/100 Vinous
‘Underbrush, camphor and oak-driven spice aromas waft out of the glass along with whiffs of espresso. Structured and enveloping, the dense, full-bodied palate features dried black cherry, licorice and truffle before a tobacco close. Tightly knit, close-grained tannins provide the assertive backbone. Drink 2025–2033’

Our couriers do their best to deliver and often have amazing local knowledge, but in the event of difficulties a reliable telephone number for the recipient makes all the difference and is a required piece of information. A mobile number is usually best.

Despite our best efforts to wrap and pack securely, damage in transit occurs from time to time.
If there's a breakage, our couriers will normally return the whole fragrant mess to us straight away.
If, however, the damage isn't apparent until you open the box, we'd still prefer to have the whole parcel collected. We'll send you a replacement as soon as possible.
