2019 Barolo, Figli Luigi Oddero, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Oddero’s Barolo is a blend from three communes. 45% of the wine comes from the south-east facing white soils of Broglio, in Serralunga d’Alba, which gives tension and grip. 35% stems from the infamous sandy soils of Rocche Ravera cru, Castiglione Falletto, adding perfume and elegance. The remaining 25% from La Morra bolsters the weight of the palate. The wine was aged for 28 months in botti grande and displays incredible perfume and quality of fruit. The palate is a cross-section of many of the region’s greatest qualities: minerality, lip-puckering purity, serious old-vine depth and stiff tannins with brilliant focus on the finish.

Critics reviews

Walter Speller 17+/20
Lustrous and just mid ruby. A fine but subdued red-fruit nose with a suggestion of talcum powder, but still rather closed. Subdued on the palate too, but at the same time transparent and elegant with coating, finely ground tannins. Elegant, very fresh and filigreed fruit, persistent tanninsDrink 2024-2036Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (November 2022)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Figli Luigi Oddero

One of the headline names of the region, the Oddero family has been producing wines from impressive vineyard holdings around Piedmont since 1878. Brothers Giacomo and Luigi Oddero grew the winery’s reputation as one of the Langhe’s most esteemed cantinas, amicably splitting the estate in 2006. Luigi passed away in 2009, having retained 32hc and many of the best vineyards, and the cantina is now run by his widow and children. Francesco Versio is the head winemaker here; hugely respected, he learnt his craft at Bruno Giacosa under Dante Scaglione before joining Figli Luigi Oddero in 2017.
