The Oddero winery is an important part of the Barolo history. Mostly of the current success of this company is the result of the work of Giacomo Oddero, but today the winery is under the lead of his daughter, Mariacristina along with his grandchildren Isabella and Pietro. The Oddero vineyards are spread among the most prestigious cru located in the Barolo area, such as Rocche di Castiglione, Bussia, Villero and Brunate. The vineyards extend for 35 hectares, which is about half of the cultivated territories dedicated to the Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco production.
