Nebbiolo Oddero 2024

The Langhe Nebbiolo by Oddero represents a fine and more accessible interpretation of this noble indigenous black grape variety that has written the winemaking history of Piemonte. Poderi e Cantine Oddero, located in the Santa Maria district, at the foot of the municipality of La Morra, has winemaking roots dating back to the 18th century and is now among the major interpreters of the territory thanks to its ability to combine tradition and innovation. Although the Langhe Nebbiolo denomination allows the use of 15% of other varieties, the estate has chosen to vinify this grape strictly in purity.

Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo comes from only grapes of the same variety from vines about 15 years old, located within the municipality of La Morra at 200 meters above sea level with east exposure. The harvest, generally carried out in the first decade of October, is accompanied by a careful selection of the bunches in the vineyard, followed by alcoholic fermentation with 15 days of contact between the must and the skins. The subsequent malolactic fermentation is facilitated and the aging period takes place in oak barrels of different capacities for about a year before bottling, which occurs in the autumn following the harvest.

Visually, the Nebbiolo by Poderi e Cantine Oddero expresses a bright ruby red color. Intriguing and crunchy aromas of violet and red fruits compose the nose, surrounded by hints of underbrush and clove. On the palate, it is fresh and captivating, easy-drinking and flavorful, with a soft and pleasant tannin. This is a Nebbiolo of great and pure Langhe typicity that finds its exaltation when paired with traditional local first courses such as tajarin with ragù or with second courses based on white meats, especially rabbit.
