ORGANICALLY FARMED
Oddero's wines display a combination of tradition with a dash of polish, with moderately long extraction times of around 25 days. Aging is in 2000L French oak barrels for around 2.5 years in the single vineyard wines.
WINE ADVOCATE 96 POINTS - "With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the 2019 Barolo Villero is graceful and light with a beautifully silky approach to the palate. It is pleasing to the eye, thanks to the shiny ruby color that is characteristic of this vintage, and to the nose, thanks to a graceful bouquet with redcurrant, spice and blue flower. It shows similar traits to the mouth, thanks to a very sharp or linear element. Oddero's Villero knocks it out of the park across this portfolio of new releases. This is a 6,000-bottle production."
KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "Balsamic aromas recalling eucalyptus and menthol mingle with rose, violet, forest floor and tobacco on this fragrant, full-bodied red. Tightly knit with youthful intensity, the structured palate palate also shows great elegance, delivering ripe red cherry, spiced cranberry, licorice and a hint of coffee bean set against a backbone of firm, close-grained tannins. It’s still rather austere so give it time to fully develop. Drink 2029–2049. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe April 2023 ©kerinokeefe.com"
JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS - "Love the aromas of freshly sliced strawberries with lemon bush and hibiscus that follow through to a medium body with fine and chewy tannins, and a fresh and focused finish. A linear and poised young Barolo. Drink after 2027."
The origins for Cantine e Poderi Oddero go back at least to the 1800s when family members were documented as making wine in the town of La Morra. By 1878, they had their estate bottling, and the by the end of that century, small barrels were being sold to the Americas. The modern winery was shaped by Giacomo Oddero who renovated things in the 1950s, who served officially in guiding Piedmont's agricultural products through the formation of regulations. This is a family who is deeply rooted in the area's agriculture!
Today, Giacomo's daughter, Mariacristina is clearly continuing to make benchmark wines of the Langhe region! The estate's vineyards are spread out, from the Barolo/La Morra slope's Brunate vineyard to Serralunga's "Grand Cru" of Vigna Rionda.
