For nearly the past decade, Oddero has been in the zone.
Even in this context, their 2019s are stunning. Oddero produced some of the most impressive Barolos of the vintage.

We recently offered Oddero's Barolo Normale and the offer blew up. Word about the success in 2019 seems to be out.
Today, we're happy to offer what is very likely the pinnacle of Oddero's stunning 2019s, the Barolo Rocche.
Rocche is one of the top crus of Barolo. In Rocche, you find a gorgeous balance between the more muscular Barolos of Monforte and Serralunga and the more perfumed and lacy examples from La Morra. Rocche leads with beautifully complex floral, red fruit, and spice notes, backed by a firm edge of raw tannin. Above all, Rocche is about aromatics and class.
Oddero's 2019 Rocche really delivers. It explodes with finely delineated aromatics and has tremendous finesse and lift on the palate. There's something intricately grand about the 2019 while remaining light on its feet. The impressive architecture promises that it will age beautifully.
It seems that with each vintage, Oddero's wines get stronger and stronger. Oddero is making some of the most compelling wines in all of Piedmont. The 2019 Rocche is a testament to the superlative work.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media: "The 2019 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione offers a striking combination of Rocche sweetness and the natural tension of the year. Hard candy, lavender, rose petal, mint, orange peel and licorice fill out the mid-palate nicely. Medium in body and nervy, the Rocche is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. But it needs time."
