Oddero Poderi e Cantine

Poderi e Cantine Oddero was established in the late 18th century by the Oddero family, who have lived in La Morra since the first half of that century. In the 1890s, Giovanni Battista Oddero began vinifying grapes, which lead to the winery’s establishment. Later, his sons, Lorenzo and Luigi followed in his footsteps. It was the first Giacomo Oddero, who started selling wine in bottles. 

Since 2008, the team at Oddero has been practicing organic vineyard management, and in 2011 they made it official, beginning the process of certified organic conversion. 

The vineyard of Cantine Oddero covers 35 hectares of vineyards, divided into countless parcels that are among the best in the Langhe and Asti regions.

The Oddero estate also includes two wineries. The historical winery in Santa Maria di La Morra is used for vinification with modern equipment, as well as for aging and storing the wines in the 18th century cellar. 

The new winery located in Santa Maria di La Morra was completed in 2015 with modern technologies and methods for energy conservation. 

Oddero is well known for its six Barolo wines: Vignarionda, Brunate, Bussia Vigna Mondoca, Rocche di Castiglione, Villero and their non-plot-specific Barolo DOCG (Barlo classico).

The Barolo wines of Oddero are made of 100% Nebbiolo, which are hand-selected, gently destemmed and fermented for around 19-25 days at a constant temperature of 28° Celsius. They are aged in 20 hl oak barrels for a period of 30-40 months (depending on whether it is a riserva). 

For Barolo and Barbaresco wines, Oddero uses Austrian, Slavonian and French oak barrels. The resulting wines tend to be deep garnet in color, with deep dark fruit aromas and notes of balsamic.

Each of Oddero's Barolo wines is a pure showcase of the unique single cru on which the grapes were cultivated, and a testament to the rich winemaking legacy and savoir-faire of the family.
