Cantina Odoardi

Cantina Odoardi is an estate situated in Calabria in southern Italy. The Odoardi family is thought to have arrived in this region in 1480, and today Gregorio Odoardi and Barbara Spalletta cultivate vines on the 270-hectare (670-acre) family-owned estate. Production is focused on the wines under the Scavigna and Savuto DOC regional titles, as well as several Calabria IGT-classified wines.

The estate itself stretches from the banks of the Savuto river to the town of Falerna, with the vineyards ranging in altitude as high as 2000ft (610m) above sea level. Odoardi's Savuto vineyard is located at the mouth of the Savuto river and is the source of its two Savuto rosso wines. These are made from a blend of typical Calabrian grape varieties, including Gaglioppo, Aglianico, Magliocco Canino, Greco Nero and Nerello Cappuccio, and are fermented and then aged for four months in stainless steel tanks.

The estate's Scavigna wine portfolio includes rosso, bianco and rosato expressions, made from vines that are planted on the clay-limestone soils of the Scavigna plateau. The rosso and rosato wines are predominantly made from Calabrian grape varieties like Aglianico and Magliocco Canino, while the bianco wine is largely based on Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay.

Odoardi produces Calabria IGT rosso, bianco and rosato wines under two labels: Odoardi GB and Terra Damia. Classic Calabrian grape varieties make up the rosso and rosato blends, while international grape varieties dominate the bianco wines.
