ABOUT THIS WINE
Vigneti Luigi Oddero is a historic estate in La Morra, deeply rooted in the winemaking traditions of the Langhe. Following the amicable split of the historic family estate in 2006, Luigi Oddero established this winery, retaining exceptional vineyard plots across elite Crus in La Morra and Castiglione Falletto. Today, the estate is managed by Luigi's widow, Lena, and their children, Maria and Giovanni. In 2017, they hired the highly acclaimed winemaker Francesco Versio, whose precise, low-intervention approach has brought a newfound clarity, elegance, and purity of fruit to the estate's traditional style.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from estate vineyards in La Morra and Castiglione Falletto, situated at 250 to 300 meters elevation on calcareous-clay and sandy-limestone soils. After careful sorting and destemming, spontaneous fermentation is carried out using only indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration on the skins lasts between 8 to 15 days depending on the vintage's phenolic maturity. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. The wine is aged for approximately 18 months in large, neutral 25-hectoliter oak casks (botti grandi) to preserve varietal purity, followed by an additional 12 months of bottle refinement before release.
