Galloni comments “I would be thrilled to own these wines”. From top to bottom, the Oddero family has produced exceptional wines that are intellectual, complex and great examples of just how good Barolo can be in a vintage like 2021. Dark and broody in style, the wines have a salinity and persistence that has earned them huge scores.
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. 2027-2050.
