The Odoardi family has owned land in Calabria’s Cosenza and Catanzaro provinces for centuries. The 2 young brothers Gregorio and Giovan Battista decided to start making wine in the early nineties quickly putting on the map some of Italy’s lesser known grape varieties and denominations: Savuto DOC and Scavigna DOC.

The re-discovery of grapes such as Magliocco Canino, Greco Nero, Gaglioppo and Nerello Cappuccio has been an eye-opener for wine drinkers and Odoardi’s re-interpretation of such historic wines is genuine and innovative at once.

Wine Spectator Review:
A big, plush red, in a modern style, with velvety tannins and abundant mesquite smoke and licorice notes leading to crème de cassis and boysenberry pie flavors. Fragrant accents of graphite and coffee liqueur linger on the finish. Magliocco, Gaglioppo, Nerello Cappuccio and Greco Nero. Best from 2021 through 2025. 2,500 cases made, 300 cases imported.
