Oddero
Oddero is a historic Barolo estate based in La Morra, with origins dating to 1878 and among the largest land holdings in the Langhe — approximately 35 hectares across six communes and multiple premier crus. The family has long operated in a traditional style: extended maceration on the skins, large Slavonian oak casks for aging, and minimal intervention to preserve the character of individual sites. The portfolio spans Barolo crus including Villero (Castiglione Falletto), Rocche di Castiglione, Brunate, and Mondoca di Bussia Soprana, as well as Barbaresco from Gallina. Villero and Rocche di Castiglione are the flagship MGA designations; Villero averages $76 per bottle across 38 lots while Rocche di Castiglione averages $86 across 33 lots, with the Riserva — aged substantially longer in oak — reaching an average of $176 across 18 lots. The 1996 Riserva is among the most celebrated library bottles in the portfolio, reaching prices toward the $777 ceiling. A significant structural development occurred in 2012 when the estate divided between the main Oddero heirs: one branch retains the Oddero label while another operates as Giacomo Oddero. Across 303 auction lots averaging $99, the estate offers accessible entry points into traditional Barolo from a family with over a century of uninterrupted production in Castiglione Falletto and La Morra.

In the Glass
Traditional Nebbiolo in the Serralunga-La Morra style: dried rose petal, tar, leather, and iron-rich earth on the nose. The palate shows bright cherry and pomegranate fruit framed by firm, grippy tannins and bracing acidity typical of the variety. Villero adds structure and dark berry depth; Rocche di Castiglione brings more floral lift. Older Riservas develop tobacco, truffle, and dried fig complexity over 15–25 years.
