WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Langhe Nebbiolo Figli Luigi Oddero involves traditional techniques. Grapes are fermented in concrete vats, a method that helps preserve the varietal character and acidity of the Nebbiolo. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in large French oak barrels. This aging process allows for the development of complexity and the softening of tannins. Nebbiolo, being a late-ripening variety, is typically harvested in October to ensure full maturity. The winery is also transitioning towards organic farming practices, having ceased the use of chemicals since 2014.
