2019 Barolo 'Pugnane' DOCG
Usually $110
Special Offer $104
"Complex and wide scent with youthful
nose, fresh with hints of violets, berries and wood arising
from the cask aging. A slight hint of licorice, typical of
the wines produced according to local tradition;
nevertheless, the fruitiness of Nebbiolo emerges.
Pleasantly dry, with balanced tannins. Hints of softness and
silkiness arise from the vintage and good harmonicity from
the tannic equilibrium with which the wine is provided; on
the palate, it confirms freshness, flows elegantly providing
good enjoyment and pleasure."

2019 Barolo 'Bussia' DOCG
Usually $110
Special Offer $104
"Intense, harmonious, fresh scent with
the fragrance of violet, rose and undergrowth. Light hints
of oak, derived from cask aging and a slight perception of
licorice, typical of the wines produced according to
tradition; nevertheless, the fruitiness of Nebbiolo is still
evident.
Dry, robust, and at the same time soft and silky with good
tannic balance.
Pleasant harmonicity in the mouth confirms the freshness,
and elegant flowing on the tongue leaves a prolonged feeling
of fullness."

Figli
Luigi Oddero
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.

2021 Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
Usually $85
Special Offer $79
"Fruit from the Santa Maria site, with a
relatively short fermentation and maceration with indigenous
yeast employed. 18 months maturation in an equal combination
of tank and large-format oak. Lovely varietal aromas of
strawberry and mulberry upfront, with attractive savoury
characters of dried herb and fennel seed providing the
background notes. Lingering flavour and length on the palate
are a real feature. Drinking beautifully now and could
easily improve with another 3-5 years in the cellar."

2021 Barbaresco 'Rombone' DOCG
Usually $155
Special Offer $144
"Tight, mineral-driven nose with
raspberry and cherry fruit. Fluid red-fruit palate with
beautiful, fine, gripping tannins. Superbly balanced and
will show best in two to four years, but in case you are
impatient and want to drink this now, it is still rewarding."

2020 Barolo 'Rocche Rivera' DOCG
Usually $389
Special Offer $359
"Castiglione Falletto. Lustrous and just
mid ruby. Shyly perfumed and a little brooding on the nose
with an undertow of spice, morocco leather and salty, saline
hints. Subtle, juicy and still a little subdued but with
fruit aroma building up on the finish. Firm but finely
ground tannins layered under the lively fruit.
Impressive."

2016 Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' DOCG
Usually $565
Special Offer $525
"Situated in the more elevated (350 m)
southern part of Serralunga, Vigna Rionda is arguably its
‘grand cru’. The nutrient-poor, mineral-rich soils produce
muscular, sinewy wines with crunchy fruit intensity. This
wine had a fermentation/maceration time of around 26 days,
with 3 years in botti followed by 2 years in bottle.
Vibrant, taut red-berry fruit here with strawberry,
cranberry and redcurrant on display. Racy acidity and the
underlying minerality provide the structure to take it
forward for the longer term. Really classic style."
