The fruit for the Oderro Poderi e Cantine “classico” comes from a combination of the Bricco Chiesa in La Morra and the Bricco Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto MGAs. The former being considered Oddero’s “home vineyard”.
Poured into a decanter about 30min before service. In the glass, the wine displays a beautiful ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with very pretty notes of Montmorency cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, a bed of roses, orange peel, fresh sage, eucalyptus and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, drying and grippy. This is all about balance and freshness. These are quite giving already but undoubtedly have a long life ahead. Drink now with patience or through 2044.

From half bottle. Popped and poured. Red fruit (cherry, raspberry), nice strong floral- rose, spice, earth, good acidity. Bright. Nice complexity. Really enjoyable

By the bottle at the Restaurant at Hill Farm in Arlington, VT. Needs air, probably should have asked for a decanter. On the last glass or two now and it’s really getting good. Exotic spices, cinnamon, dried cherries, sticky clay, white mushrooms, crushed flowers. Really expressive and complex. Palate is juicy, fresh, red cherry, crushed strawberry, fruit leather, hint of smoky briny earth on the finish. Tons of acidity, tons of tannins but great balance and length. Pretty solid stuff now, going to be fantastic in 10 or 12 years.

Oddero never disappoints. Super delicious wine. Gorgeous nose filled with cherries, licorice, roses, and wild berries. Grippy tannins. Super fresh. Wait 3-5 years with this one for ultimate drinking pleasure. 90-91p

From Bricco Chiesa, Cappalot, Fiasc (the famous Scavino one) and Monvigliero for 18 and 19 ... :)
The nose is pronounced with black olives, tapenade, sage, old oak, blood orange, licorice, ... complex and intricate
The palate is grippy and a bit dry but the overall balance thanks to high level of acidity is tremendous, its is drinking so easily, fluid wine, with orange and velvety feel !
Excellent again
