It is made from Nebbiolo grapes and aged in oak barrels. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet with \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic and liquorice notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, hints of chocolate and touches of small red fruits. On the palate, it expresses a full structure, supported by a savoury and mineral vein and well-balanced acidity. The \u003cstrong\u003esweet and enveloping tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e make the sip elegant, finishing with a persistent and spicy aftertaste, ideal paired with \u003cstrong\u003ebraised red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game, and mature cheeses with intense flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the prestigious Rocche di Castiglione cru, located in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe. The \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, over sixty years old, grow on a \u003cstrong\u003esteep and rugged slope\u003c\/strong\u003e surrounded by woods, at an altitude of about two hundred and fifty metres with optimal south-east exposure. The sedimentary soil is poor and shallow, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003eexposed bedrock\u003c\/strong\u003e. This poor substrate causes the plants to experience summer water stress, which naturally limits yields, allowing the aromas to concentrate in the bunches and giving the wine the typical tension of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e and a double selection of the bunches. After destemming and crushing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature with careful \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, an essential phase for balancing the sensory profile. Maturation involves a \u003cstrong\u003elong ageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for thirty months, which helps to smooth the tannic texture and enhance aromatic complexity. The process concludes with twelve months of bottle ageing, ensuring the wine achieves full and harmonious expressive stability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prestige of the historic Oddero winery is fully expressed in this exclusive Barolo, born from \u003cstrong\u003e65-year-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e in the renowned Rocche di Castiglione Falletto cru.
