AGE OF VINEYARDS
Varies. The central and largest part, planted before the Oddero family bought the vineyard,
probably dates back to 1972. The highest section with about 240 plants was planted in 1983,
and the lowest section with about 300 plants in 2007
Our family began making Barolo Vignarionda in 1985, producing just a few bottles initially
and continuing in the successive years with few exceptions. In fact, it was not produced in
1992, 1994, 2002, and in 2003 only 1,200 bottles were made. Since 2010, average annual
production is between 2,700 and 3,000 bottles
