Oddero is one of the oldest and most esteemed estates in all of Barolo. They were one of the first producers to start bottling their wine, instead of selling it off in bulk as was the custom until the 20th century. And when brothers Luigi and Giacomo took charge in the 1950s and โ€˜60s they helped modernize the winery and increased the quality and the vineyard holdings, without losing sight of the familyโ€™s 200 plus year old traditions.

So itโ€™s a bit of a mystery why it took so long for them to catch on in the U.S. I think it's likely due to the fact that they have always sold a good percentage of their production in Italy itself. They have long standing relationships with many of the countryโ€™s best restaurants and are well represented on all the top wine lists and at the best wine bars. Whenever I travel there Iโ€™m sure to enjoy several bottles of perfectly aged Oddero Baroli.

But the days of obscurity stateside have largely ended now, thanks to the work of importers Doug Polaner in New York and Oliver McCrum in California.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2020 Barolo is a pretty powerful wine in this peer group. Accordingly, it is going to need a few years to come into its own. Macerated cherry, licorice, lavender, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco emerge gradually, but only with great reluctance. Hints of rose petal, mint and cinnamon linger." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"Coming in hot off some truly excellent past releases, the Oddero 2020 Barolo has a pretty mineral content with pencil shaving, crushed stone and wet soil that meets forest berry and underbrush. The wine hits on all cylinders, and there is good aromatic balance. It delivers a punch of bright fruit and crushed rose that gives way to pulverized stone. For a base Barolo, this is one of your best buying options. Fruit is blended from Bricco Chiesa and Capalot in La Morra and Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto." -Monica Larner
