Perfumed and dark with a with great presence on palate. Dusty chalky tannins matched with an excellent core of fruit! Perfumed and dark with a with great presence on palate. Dusty chalky tannins matched with an excellent core of fruit. Anise and tar with a little pleasant snappiness. The tannins sit on the edgy side of the spectrum. Overall a cracker Langhe of good value.

Perfumed energetic red fruits. Dusty chalky tannins matched with an excellent core of fruit! Perfumed energetic red fruits. Dusty chalky tannins matched with an excellent core of fruit!

Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

A great way to introduce both Nebbiolo & Poderi Oddero to your MOUTH! Tasted this with Pietro Oddero @ WINE DECODED HQ, Nov 2022 This is not meant to be a baby Barolo, it will pants many a Barolo! As has been the case with every vintage of this wine I've drunk so far, it has a wonderful perfumed, energetic red fruits and excellent flow across the palate. One of the biggest differences between vintages tends to be the tannins and the texture. The 2020 plush and fine. Try this over a few days!

The Barolo & Barbaresco Gallina


Such a beautiful Barbaresco Cru

Try Roagna’s too!

Oddero Barbaresco ‘Gallina’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Neive, Italy

Oddero are doing such a wonderful job with this vineyard! Youthful and in need of a decant if you crack it young. Everything is there and in the right places. Energetic, vibrant red fruits, with a pleasant grip, hints of tar and an expressive perfume. Loads of fun to be had here. The best Barbaresco's from 2019 make for exhilarating drinking. Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED The 2019 Barbaresco Gallina is a very pretty, effusive wine. Crushed raspberry, flowers, mint and sweet pipe tobacco a

A Warm Year + A Cool Year. Celebrate the Difference!

Tasted this with Pietro Oddero @ WINE DECODED HQ, Nov 2022 I keep saying drink more than 1 wine at a time, you'll accelerate your appreciation for the best gear and drink better sooner. Tasted next to the 2017 with Pietro to share his reflections of both years and vines. Once again we're seeing the adage producer, producer, producer win. Two very different vintages 2017 warm, 2018 cool with disease pressure, hail events and beyond. Oddero's Barolo from both vintages are excellent wines and

The Cru Barolos


Two Stunners from Castiglione Falletto

… Oddero’s Rocche is just over the border in Monforte

Rare as Hens' teeth!

Oddero Barolo ‘Rocche di Castiglione’ 2017

Nebbiolo | Castiglione Falletto, Italy

Rocche di Castiglione has to be one of my favourite Crus. The wines have incredible harmony, they are just so complete. I haven't had the chance to try this. I have devoured the 2017 Villero from just around the corner. Given Oddero's consistency through their range I'd say you're in for very safe bet here! The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a beautiful wine that captures the natural intensity of the year while maintaining the style of the site. Silky aromatic and wonderfully nua

One of La Morra’s Great Cru’s with a little Twist of Serralunga to it

Oddero Barolo ‘Brunate’ 2017

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

Give it the requisite air time & it reveals all! Given the Oddero style and the commune of La Morra this has all the ingredients need to be an impressive wine, and it is just that. Before I got my head fully around the tannin complex in the Poderi Oddero wines I cracked one of these and thought, shit, that's a bit OTT, just on the tannin side. A third of the bottle coravined out and 1 month later I chucked the rest in a decanter. The transformation blew my mind. All had resolved and harmonised t

Wine Decoded Meets Pietro Oddero! He Came, We Talked, We Drank … We Played with the Pooches!

Spending a couple of hours with Pietro exploring the history of Barolo, Poderi Oddero and the people behind the scenes was a pleasure. The quality and personality-filled wines of Poderi Oddero make sense … you’ll see!

Pietro’s grandfather Giacomo, the 5th generation, played a major role in establishing the DOC for Barolo and a suite of agricultural produce, think hazelnuts and white truffles!

While the red tape of a DOC can feel restrictive, at the time the impetus was to collectively set base-level standards that would see the profile of the Langhe raised on a global stage.

Few would argue they haven’t achieved their goal!

Pietro mentions Giacomo saying that you rate a Barolo producer on their Dolcetto.

Based on Oddero’s Dolcetto, and the array of wines across vintages that offered conditions from perfect to hot to cold, frosted, hailed and everything in between, it’s clear the Oddero family and the group of people that work with them will do whatever it takes to get the most out of each season.

Exploring Tannin Profiles
Texture is the missing link between good and great wines!

This is a great opportunity to explore tannin and mouthfeel.

To Compare & Contrast

1. Drink a Dolcetto, Barbera and Langhe Nebbiolo to dial into the differences between the varieties.


2. Drink a Langhe Nebbiolo, a Barbaresco Gallina and a Barolo next to each to see how the tannins step as you move from the Langhe to both the Barbaresco and Barolo and how they differ between the Barbaresco and Barolo.


3. Drink the Barolo next the Brunate, Villero & Vigna Rionda to see how the Crus layer up and have very different tannin profiles.


4. Drink a warmer year in the 2017 Barolo next to a cooler year in the 2018 Barolo


Like all of the greats Oddero has a strong focus on texture and as soon as funds and brain space have permitted they have invested in the likes of a sorting table and a super gently destemmer allowing whole berries to have their tannins gently infused into the wine.

Continual experimentation has seen small amounts of whole bunch trialled amongst countless other initiatives.

The podcast from Levi Dalton with Isabella Oddero from 2009 and one with Giacomo Oddero that just dropped is well worth a listen.

Monlia Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2021

Timorasso | Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

Released 6 months later than the 2020 and it shows immediately. The extra time offers up a beautifully resolved wine. There’s something about the texture, aroma and flavour profile of good Italian white. That silvery line of bitterness that graces the finish. Out to play, seamless, the texture is refined with an excellent phenolic play married to fine acid. When Pietro visited Wine Deoced HQ we talked of the gentle development large oak casks offer whilst retaining freshness in a wine. This is

After 3 days open this came into its own and really shone. The tannins have softened a little, harmonising with the fruit. The wine has resolved to reveal a balance, beauty and perfume that sat shy on first opening! Some serious quality here. Vibrant and energetic Slatey mineral chalky nature. Excellent mouth-coating tannins that are fine with great line and length. Juicy acid ramps up some juicy fruit. Excellent elevage.  The lasting note is fruit, red and fun.

Ramp up the sophistication of the mouthfeel and you're kinda close to where the Villero sits. Dark and brooding give it time and watch it blossom!
