ODDERO Barolo 2019

Like a natural terrace overlooking the Piedmontese hills of the Langhe, the Poderi e Cantine Oddero estate has always vinified exclusively its own estate-grown grapes.
The Oddero family has owned these vineyards and farmhouses since before 1700. Today, it stands as a historic brand among Barolo producers.

After generations in male hands, the winery is currently owned and managed by Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, daughters of Giacomo Oddero—a renowned figure in the Langa region and beyond. Here, ancient wisdom blends with modern techniques, while every production step is followed with patience and tenacity.

The estate comprises 35 hectares of vineyards, over 16 of which are planted with Nebbiolo for Barolo. These yield grapes for some of the finest wines in the Langa, born from over two centuries of history: an example of how to treasure the past to build the present and lay the foundations for the future, through respect for tradition and extreme care for the vineyards and wines.
