The story
The commercial name Poderi e Cantine Oddero dates back to the Oddero family; company sources indicate continuity of bottling activity since 1878 and family management across multiple generations. The estate is best known for producing Langhe wines (Barolo, Barbaresco, Moscato d’Asti) and also offers flavored products such as the Vermouth del Kamerlengo.
Production philosophy
The company emphasizes the Langhe territory, grape quality (particularly Nebbiolo) and the family tradition in winemaking; for flavored products it relies on oenological expertise to produce vermouths made from selected base wines.
Territory
Langhe (La Morra), Piedmont, Italy
Production method
According to product sheets available from distributors and retailers, the Vermouth del Kamerlengo are obtained by infusing and macerating botanicals on the base wine (for the Rosso a Nebbiolo wine, for the Bianco a Timorasso wine), followed by further maceration with added sugar and agricultural alcohol, filtration and bottling. The base wines are vinified at the Oddero cellar in La Morra; vermouth production is indicated as carried out at the third-party distillery/facility listed in the technical sheets (Il Reale SRL, Chieri TO).
Distillation
Not a pure distillate: process based on infusion/maceration of botanicals on the base wine, with addition of alcohol and sugar, followed by filtration and bottling.
