Figli Luigi Oddero "Convento" Rosso Langhe DOC 2024

An organic, captivating red blend from Piedmont that beautifully balances elegance and power. Crafted by the renowned Oddero family, it showcases the region’s classic blend of Dolcetto, Barbera and a touch of Nebbiolo, resulting in a wine of structure, complexity and charm. 

Dry and medium-bodied with aromas of red cherries, blackberries, plums and violet, enriched by notes of dried rose petals, licorice and light tobacco. Hints of forest floor and sweet spice add intrigue. Medium-bodied and well-balanced on the palate, with firm yet polished tannins. Bright acidity underpins flavors of cherries, blackcurrants and red plums, layered with nuances of clove and baking spices. The persistent finish lingers with a subtle almond note accompanied by echoes of spice and a whisper of minerality.

Located in Santa Maria di La Morra, Figli Luigi Oddero is a historic pillar of Piedmont, established as an independent estate in 2006, following a split of the original 18th-century family holdings. Under the leadership of Luigi’s widow, Lena, and their children, the winery has gained significant acclaim for its traditionalist philosophy and the expertise of renowned winemaker Dante Scaglione. The name “Convento” is a nod to the fact that their estate was a convent in the early 17th centruy.

The estate spans 32 hectares of prime vineyards, including prestigious crus like Vignarionda in Serralunga d’Alba and Rocche Rivera in Castiglione Falletto. Since 2014, the family has farmed these plots organically, prioritizing soil health and biodiversity through sustainable practices like cover-cropping and manual harvesting. The winemaking approach is intentionally low-intervention, utilizing spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks and aging in large, neutral Slavonian oak botti to ensure the terroir and fruit purity remain the focal point of every bottle.
