Fratelli Oddero is in La Morra, and Gambero Rosso, Italy’s leading wine journal, calls it “one of the most important” estates in Langhe. Today the estate calls itself simply Oddero, or Podere e Cantine Oddero, reflecting the fact that it is now run by Giacomo Oddero’s two adult daughters. Giacomo and his brother Luigi ran the estate together for nearly 50 years, but in 2006 Luigi started his own winery. There are nearly 90 acres of vineyards planted to Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling and Chardonnay. Oddero is a certified organic estate and it produces 150,000 bottles annually. Gambero Rosso notes that the estate includes outstanding plots that are essentially “grands crus interpreted in a dry, sophisticated idiom achieved by skillful use of large and small oak barrels. This is the signature style of Mariacristina and Mariavittoria Oddero, who run the business today.”
