Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Appellation

Barolo

Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

Wine Advocate

The Oddero 2022 Barolo is a blend of fruit from three MGA sites: Bricco Chiesa and Capalot in La Morra, together with Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto. The wine opens with generous aromas of cassis and wild cherry that set the stage for an expressive bouquet of lifted red fruit, rose petal and delicate floral notes. Crushed stone and dusty chalk add a savory mineral edge that carries through to the elegant finish. Despite the hot, dry growing season, this wine highlights the graceful side of the 2022 vintage with finesse, freshness and balance. Fermented spontaneously and aged for about 24 months in large oak casks, it is a solid recommendation at this price. 40,000 bottles were produced.

A fresh and fragrant wine with assertive aromas of blood oranges, dried roses, aromatic herbs and a hint of citrus. Full-bodied with firm tannins. It’s tightly knit and muscular yet balanced, with a blond tobacco aftertaste. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

Coming from vineyards in Bricco Chiesa, Capalot, Bussia, and Fiasco, the 2022 Barolo pours a medium red hue. Aromas of cherries, spice, potpourri, and fresh herbs emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it offers refreshing purity, with balanced acidity and excellent length. Bussia was particularly dry in this vintage and suffered more hydric stress, which led the fruit to be included in the classico rather than bottled separately. This is a beautifully balanced and classic expression that is already appealing. Potential production is roughly 40,000 to 45,000 bottles. Drink 2026-2036.

The 2022 Barolo is a gorgeous entry-level wine. Kirsch, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, crushed autumn leaves and licorice are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the wine's depth in a vintage marked by light wines. The 2022 benefits from the inclusion of fruit from Vigna Mondoca, where yields were too low for a commercial release, and Capalot, which was also not bottled separately. A lot of care goes into this wine, and it truly shows. This is a great achievement. If I could only buy one wine of these 2022s, the straight Barolo would be it.
