Description

Pale brick-garnet. Overripe and cooked, wild-strawberry fruit – surprisingly ripe and sweet character. Mint and rose aromatic lift, with just a hint of tar and slate. Firm to high, powerful, chalky tannins, with a certain lightness of fruit, typical of the vintage. Nevertheless, there’s fair length of perfume, and complexity is developing.

Delivery Information

Grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted in the vineyard and prior to destemming and pressing. Fermentation with
maceration for 15 to 20 days with indigenous yeasts. The malolactic ermentation is carried out between the following fall and spring. Ageing is in stainless steel vats and then in medium/large-size oak
barrels for 36 months. Bottle ageing for 24 months before release.

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.
