Poderi e Cantine Oddero, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC

About Poderi e Cantine Oddero

Poderi e Cantine Oddero stands as one of the historic families of Barolo, with a winemaking tradition that traces its roots back to the 18th century in the heart of the Langhe region, Piedmont. The Oddero family’s connection to the land and its vineyards spans over seven generations, with their estate based in La Morra. Today, the winery is helmed by siblings Mariacristina and Pietro Oddero, who continue the legacy of quality and authenticity established by their ancestors.

The estate comprises over 35 hectares of vineyards, including some of the most prestigious crus in Barolo and Barbaresco. Oddero’s holdings include celebrated sites such as Brunate, Vigna Rionda, Rocche di Castiglione, Bussia, Villero, and Gallina, as well as vineyards in Barbera d’Asti and Moscato d’Asti zones. The diversity and quality of these vineyards are central to Oddero’s philosophy, allowing them to produce wines that express the unique character of each terroir.

Oddero’s approach in the vineyard is rooted in respect for nature and tradition. The family practices organic farming across their estate, using natural fertilizers and minimal intervention to preserve the health of the vines and the integrity of the soil. This commitment extends to careful selection of grapes during harvest, ensuring only the best fruit is used for their wines. In the cellar, traditional methods are favored, with long macerations and aging in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing the wines to develop complexity and elegance over time.

The winery’s portfolio centers on classic expressions of Nebbiolo, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco, but also includes Barbera, Dolcetto, Langhe blends, and sweet Moscato. Oddero’s Barolo wines are noted for their structure, aromatic depth, and capacity to age gracefully, reflecting both the distinctiveness of their vineyard sites and the family’s meticulous craftsmanship. Their single-vineyard bottlings, such as Barolo Vigna Rionda and Barolo Brunate, are highly regarded for their purity and sense of place.

Throughout its long history, Poderi e Cantine Oddero has played a significant role in the evolution and prestige of Barolo. The family was among the first to bottle and label their wines at the estate, helping to establish the reputation of Barolo as a world-class wine. Today, their wines are exported internationally and celebrated for their authenticity, elegance, and fidelity to tradition. The Oddero family remains deeply involved in all aspects of production, guided by a philosophy that honors the past while embracing innovation when it serves the quality of their wines.

Visitors to the estate can experience the unique heritage of Oddero through guided tours and tastings, set amidst the rolling hills and historic cellars of La Morra. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, respect for the land, and a passion for sharing the story of their vineyards, Poderi e Cantine Oddero continues to be a benchmark for classic Piedmontese wine.
