Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Luigi Oddero, Nebbiolo, Langhe, 2020

A Nebbiolo that is made like a mini-Barolo, the 2020 is comprised of 75% La Morra (Santa Maria) fruit from around the winery (Specola) and 25% from the Coloretto MGA in Serralunga d’Alba. It spends more than 12 months in large cask and a further 8 months in stainless steel to fully come together. Always a more robust, tannic style of Nebbiolo, since 2019 they have tweaked the blend so that the Rocche Rivera (a taut, mineral-rich site in Castiglione Falletto) has been replaced by the cooler, fresher Coloretto. Consequently, the style in 2020 is a little sweeter, more alluring and overall more La Morra inspired than it used to be. Expressive and flattering in its style, the 2020 can be drunk young or cellared over the next five to ten years.

Luigi Oddero

An estate going places fast, we believe Luigi Oddero e Figli has the potential to be one of the very great estates of the Langhe. Its story started in 2006 when Luigi split off from the Oddero estate with 30ha. Luigi sadly passed away in 2009 but his wife Lena is now running the azienda alongside children Maria and Giovanni. Dante Scaglione, of Giacosa fame, is consultant winemaker and in 2016 Francesco Versio joined the team as full time head winemaker. Also formerly of Bruno Giacosa Francesco is considered one of the brightest young winemaking talents of the region. Methods are traditional here, long gentle extractions followed by ageing in large old oak casks for up to three years. Blessed with some truly great vineyards and some of the best winemaking talent around, the Luigi Oddero future looks bright indeed. Vivid, elegant wines with great intensity and purity of flavour.
