Oddero is one of the most historic wine producers in Piedmont, with roots tracing back to the 18th century. Based in the La Morra commune of the Langhe, the Oddero family continues to craft high-quality wines in their pristine cellars, from some of the most prestigious vineyards in the legendary Barolo region. 

Villero Barolo is one of their signature cru wines, made with Nebbiolo entirely from the south-facing MGA of Villero on the Castiglione ridge. Barolo from this cru is always powerful and exceptionally age-worthy, though the 2022 is accessible at a younger age due to the warmer vintage. It will open up beautifully when decanted to reveal enchanting aromatics that dance above layers of savory cherry, dusty rose, and licorice notes. This quintessential Barolo will improve significantly over the next 15-30 years, and should be on every collector's short list.
