2020 Oddero Barolo

How can one not love the aroma of beautiful tart red berry fruit, dried flowers, and spice packaged in regal elegance? This is Oddero Barolo and you will LOVE. Let’s just be obvious here and pair it with some cheesy risotto. 

Poderi e Cantine Oddero ranks among the oldest established Barolo houses and owns prized parcels in several of Barolo’s most prestigious crus. Many of the family’s holdings date back to the 1700s, and the very first bottle of Oddero Barolo was released in 1878. Their 35 hectares encompass many of the top crus in the Langhe and Asti, including but not limited to Bussia in Monforte d’Alba, Brunate in La Morra, Vignarionda in Serralunga d’Alba, both Villero and Rocche di Castiglione in Castiglione Falletto, Monvigliero in Verduno, Gallina in Neive, and Nizza in Asti. With Giacomo Oddero continuing to oversee operations, the iconic estate in La Morra is now run by the sixth and seventh generations: his daughters, Mariavittoria and Mariacristina, and their respective children, Isabella and Pietro. In 2017, the family completed the process of converting their vineyards to certified organic farming. Oddero’s centuries-long experience, traditional winemaking style, and devotion to organic certification combine to render the house a benchmark producer in the region.
