"I love the sharpness, the focus, the tension... "
2021 Oddero Barolo Rocche

Posted by Ian McFadden

Oddero's 2021s are brilliant.

Antonio Galloni writes, "I was so impressed with these 2021s from Poderi e Cantine Oddero... Readers will find wines that express all the best the vintage had to offer."

Oddero is making some of the most compelling wines in all of Piedmont. They are turning out classically styled Nebbiolos of incredible purity and detail. The 2021s represent yet another high-water mark. 

Today, we're happy to offer Oddero's 2021 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 2021 Roche is dazzling. It acts as a perfect summary of what we love about Oddero. We're not alone in being fans of the wine.  Antonio Galloni writes: "This (and the 2021 Barolo Brunate) are my favorites in this group of single-vineyard releases. I love the sharpness, the focus, the tension and those taut tannins that stitch it together.' This is about as finessed and precise as this great site gets. 

In short, the 2021 Rocche shows them at the height of their powers. I'm very happy to offer this.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media: "The Oddero 2021 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione shows that etched minerality and soaring verticality that you can expect of this celebrated MGA site. This (and the 2021 Barolo Brunate) are my favorites in this group of single-vineyard releases. I love the sharpness, the focus, the tension and those taut tannins that stitch it together. This wine reveals a note of candied cherry, raspberry and terrific fruit purity. It ages in botte grande for 24 months, and 3,000 bottles were created."
