Founded by Mario Odero in 1919, the Frecciarossa estate and winery sits on a beautiful stretch of 37 hectares. Odero, was originally a merchant splitting his time between Genova and England before he fell in love with the hills and vineyards that surround the estate. His son, Giogio, followed his father’s passion for wine and studied wine and agronomy in Champagne and Burgundy. By the late 1920’s, Frecciarossa had already made a name for itself far beyond the Lombardy region. Today, Odero’s great-granddaughter, Valeria Radici Odero, leads the modern estate, which encompasses not only 27 hectares of vines, but also plots of wheat and alfalfa, hazelnut groves, and fruit trees.
“Red Arrow,” as it’s affectionately called in the winery, is Frecciarossa’s daily drinker and a great introduction to their line of wines. Light bodied and totally chillable, this crunchy red wine shows bright red fruit and earthy minerality. It’s a great option for a summer red, we like it with a charcuterie spread.
