My first visit to Oddero, great wines and Chiara was a charming host, will definitely be back.
2023 Monlià
A Timorasso to my liking. With a high, fresh acidity. The nose shows of notes of lemon peel, lots of gravel and cucumber. Pure and fine.
The taste is sappy and pure with notes of lemon, grass and, again, a very good acidity. The first vintage from Oddero´s own grapes, a Colli Tortonesi D.O.C. Timorasso Derthona.

2023 Barbera d´Alba Superiore
An open, juicy nose with notes of ripe raspberries, Finnish licorice and fried herbs. A very fine warmth.
The taste is tight and spicy with lovely raspberry fruit, a very good structure and a cleansing acidity. Very fine.
92p (tasted 2025/09)
2023 Langhe Nebbiolo
A cool, handsome nose with notes of cherries, leather, paint and Langhe earth. Very, very good.
The taste is seedy and fine with notes of hard cherry candy, earth and rosehips. Silky tannins.
90p (tasted 2025/09)
2021 Barbaresco Gallina
A finely tuned, elegant nose with notes of red currants, licorice, dried flowers and a hint of tobacco. Lovely.
The taste is luscious and layered with notes of rosehips, red currants and shoe polish. Perfectly polished tannins. 6+ years.
94p (tasted 2025/09)
2021 Barolo
A deep, earthy nose with notes of strawberries, rosehips, bakelite and fresh flowers. Very fine.
The taste is young and tight with a fine focus, gorgeous red fruit and taut tannins. 6+ years.
92p (tasted 2025/09)
2021 Barolo Villero
A rich, concentrated nose with notes of ripe cherries, asphalt, dried flowers and paint. Very, very deep.
The taste is high and intense with notes of hard cherry fruit, tar and dried flowers. Salivating, firm tannins. One for the ages, 10+ years.
94p (tasted 2025/09)
2019 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Mondoca
A testament to the stunning vintage of 2019 and Oddero´s wine making. The nose is bottomless deep with magnificent fruit in the shape of ripe red cherries, red apple skin, coffee powder and hints of tobacco. A very fine balsamic note.
The taste is rich, perfectly balanced and so, so deep, with notes of ripe cherries, expensive leather, roses and asphalt. The finish is counted in minutes. A candidate for perfection in 8+ years.
97p (tasted 2025/09)
