A Legacy of Excellence: Figli Luigi Oddero’s Timeless Nebbiolo

by Hugh French | Feb 21, 2024

 

Figli Luigi Oddero

"...there is so much untapped potential here."
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

 

 

The Oddero family has a long history of producing exceptional wines in the Piedmont region. They have been crafting wines since 1878 and have elevated the winery's standing to become one of Langhe's most esteemed cellars. The two brothers, Giacomo and Luigi Oddero played a significant role in this achievement. However, in 2006, they divided the estate amicably, with Luigi retaining 32 hectares of prime vineyards. Tragically, Luigi passed away in 2009, leaving his widow and children to oversee the winery.

Today, the Odderos have employed the expertise of renowned winemaker Francesco Versio with Dante Scaglione, who learned his craft under the tutelage of Bruno Giacosa, looking after the vineyard. With this incredible team, further ascendancy of this producer is almost certain.

2019 Barbaresco 'Rombone' DOCG
Usually $149 - Special Offer $140

"Treiso. Just mid ruby. Cool, yet concentrated raspberry fruit on the nose. Elegant, supple full raspberry palate that is still a little tight. Rich coating tannins that fit the fragrant full fruit like a glove. Stunning balance and depth, and still light of touch. Just at the beginning of its development."
18/20 Points

2019 Barolo DOCG
Usually $160 - Special Offer $150

"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 tannins."
17+/20 Points

2018 Barolo DOCG
Usually $155 - Special Offer $145

17++/20 Points

2018 Barolo 'Specola' DOCG
Usually $239 - Special Offer $229

"A little more youthful ruby than their Barolo Classico. Profound cherry fruit with a touch of talcum powder. Proper concentration and ripeness on the palate... Beautiful balance and finesse and with a long, fragrant, chewy finish."
17++/20 Points
Walter Speller, Jancisrobinson.com

 

 

2019 Barolo 'Rocche Rivera' DOCG
Usually $355 - Special Offer $335

"Lustrous mid ruby. A shy nose of sweetly perfumed fruit with savoury, minerally notes. Elegant and youthful and still a little closed but clearly concentrated. Finely balanced palate still a little austere and with a layer of sandy tannins."
17++/20 Points
Walter Speller, Jancisrobinson.com

 

2018 Barolo 'Rocche Rivera' DOCG
Usually $345 - Special Offer $325

"Castiglione Falletto. The grapes come from the Rocche Rivera plot in the Scarrone cru, which is a continuation of the Rocche di Castiglione cru with Luigi Oddero's full-south-facing plot one of the best sites.
Lustrous mid ruby. Perfumed, concentrated and focused cherry nose of great appeal with hints of iron and orange blossom. Great minerality underneath. Slow to open up and really intriguing. Compact, precise and transparent. Gorgeous, finely grained, layered tasty tannins paving the way for the elegant fruit. Real pedigree and elegance."
17.5/20 Points
Walter Speller, Jancisrobinson.com

 

 

2018 Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' DOCG
Usually $429 - Special Offer $409

"Just mid ruby. Savoury and minerally with a hint of sour cherry but otherwise still closed. Just a touch of liquorice and green walnut. Generous supple fruit from which massive but fine tannins creep up on the finish. Not the usual energetic crunchy tannins but fits the fruit like a glove."
17++/20 Points
Walter Speller, Jancisrobinson.com

 

 

2015 Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' DOCG
Usually $415 - Special Offer $395

"With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Figli Luigi Oddero 2015 Barolo Vignarionda is saturated and rich, showing dark fruit, black cherry, plum, campfire ash, iron and rusty nail. Vignarionda awards flavors and tastes with a strong sense of place, and territory-driven characteristics are especially evident in this vintage. To the palate, the wine is smooth and rich with integrated tannins."
95+ Points
