Founded in 1878, Oddero is one of the oldest producers
of Barolo. Over the generations, the family has gradually expanded its
vineyards to today's impressive 148 acres, many of which lie in the
illustrious Barolo vineyards of Brunate, Rocche di Castiglione, Villero
and Mondoca di Bussia. Since 2001, with the help of the young and
talented winemaker Luca Vaglio, Oddero winery has become one of the
leading producers in Barolo. Their name is synonymous with tradition and
high quality Nebbiolo wines from the Langhe’s top vineyards. In 2006,
after fifty years of passionately tending the vines, Luigi was obliged
to leave the family domaine in La Morra and create his own label. He
took with him his wife Lena, their young children Giovanni and Maria, as
well as 79 acres of prime vineyards, including Castiglione Falletto's
Rocche dei Rivera & Serralunga d'Alba's Vigna Rionda. With Luigi’s
loss in 2010, Lena Oddero (nata Gavrilova) is now managing the estate,
aided by her faithful team of Gregorio (winemaker), Alberto Gatto and
Alberto Zaccarelli (sales). Dante Scaglione, ex Bruno Giacosa, consults.
The wines are traditionally and respectfully made in stainless steel
and cement tanks, before being aged in large Gamba oak botti. Their
fruit is grown in the villages of Treiso (for Barbaresco), La Morra,
Barolo, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba.
