ORGANICALLY FARMED
The historic Poderi & Cantine Oddero winery, whose family members have been making wines in the Barolo region since at least the early 1800s, is remarkable for surviving changing fashions with integrity and humility intact. It's thanks to Giacomo Oddero through the last century, and now his daughter, Mariacristina, that they continue to excel in their committedly classical style. Their Barolo is an archetype of that, with a thoughtful blending of the lifted, aromatic vibrancy and elegance from their La Morra vineyards, the bold structure and intensity of Monvilgiero (Verduno) and the refined concentration of Bricco Fiasco (Castiglione Falletto). Aging takes place in larger Slavonian and Austrian oak barrels, which enhances the woodsy spice and texture of the wine in a subtle fashion, allowing the fruit character to dominate.
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "The 2019 Barolo opens to a lean appearance with a very vibrant Nebbiolo color that shines with dark ruby highlights. There is dried cherry and candied fruit aromas on the bouquet. Those fruit layers cede to light spice, lilac and campfire ash. The beauty in this wine is the extreme balance achieved in this classic vintage. It delivers on all levels: intensity, length and joy. The fruit represents a blend of four MGS sites: Bricco Chiesa and Capalot in La Morra, Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto and Monvigliero in Verduno."
"These are the best wines I have tasted from Oddero. I have had my eyes on this winery for decades, honestly, and I still remember the magical understanding I experienced as a young wine novice across from a bottle of aged Barolo made by Oddero on one of my first trips to Piedmont. Many changes have occurred over the years with regards to this brand. But Mariacristina Oddero and her children have forged forward nonetheless, following an ambitious search for the best cru sites and an overhaul at the winery that prizes elegance and weightlessness in her wines. Farming is organic. In addition to these classic wines, there is a new Langhe rosé made with Nebbiolo from Roero and two new vermouths." Monica Larner-Wine Advocate
