About Oddero Wines:
Oddero winery is similar to a natural terrace overlooking the hills of Langhe, Italy.
Just as in the past, it still produces wines exclusively from grapes grown in family-owned vineyards. Traditional knowledge and modern production techniques, as well as patience and perseverance are at the core of Oddero's philosophy.
Oddero estate vineyards are located on the hills of the Barolo, Barbaresco, Moscato and Barbera d'Asti wine region, the appropriately named sori' (sunny hills), where the grapes can benefit from the best sunlight.
The proprietors are Giacomo, Mariacristina and Mariavittoria Oddero. Their land and roots date back to the end of 18th century. Their family, cellars and vines are located in some of the most important sites in the Barolo and Barbaresco zones.
18th century muncipal records show that the vineyards and estate have belonged to the Oddero family for centuries – dating back to Oderro ancestors - Lorenzo, Luigi and Giovanni Battista (1794-1874), who between the 18th and 19th centuries started making wine from the grapes of the family's vineyards located around La Morra, a picturesque hill-town with views out over the whole Alta Langa.
It is thanks to them that Oddero wine got its start in life. It was first sold in small casks and demijohns, then from 1878 in bottles. In 1911 Giacomo Oddero, grandfather of the current Giacomo, proudly took his Barolo to the International Exhibition of Turin, presenting the wine at the tasting held by “Circolo Enofilo Subalpino”, on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Unity of Italy.
After 150 years of activity, the historical winery is run today by sisters Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, who are passionate about wine. They took over from their father Giacomo and are assisted by their children, whose youth gives freshness and innovation to the wisdom of tradition.
About Pietro Viglino Oddero
Pietro is a member of the seventh generation of the Oddero family, owners of one of the most historical wineries in the Langhe Hills for the production of Barolo and Barbaresco wines.
Pietro was born and raised in La Morra, at his family's winery, where he learned from everyday experience to have a deep respect for his family's prestigious heritage and traditions. He developed a determined will to protect the authenticity of the area.
At the age of 19, he decided to study Economics and Foreign Commerce at the University in Turin where he spent 3 years. He also took part to an international internship in London in the management of Ferrero Chocolate Industries. After obtaining his degree, he joined his family's company in La Morra, where he currently works as ambassador of the historical Oddero winery, whose prestigious wines are sold internationally.
He has a love for wine, food and travel and is now in charge of export sales for his family's company. In the meantime he is also learning from his family how to help with the operations in the vineyards and how to assist in the cellar, as these are the areas in which he plans to work in the future.
