ALBERTO OGGERO
We asked ourselves if it was possible to think of Nebbiolo as a daily table wine, ignoring the old vision that sees it as a wine for special occasions or rich dishes. And at the same time, if we could consider Arneis like a sort of Nebbiolo Bianco, elevating it from the common perception of a simple wine suited only for a summer aperitivo. The priority is drinkability, with one eye on territoriality for Roero Bianco and for Sandro, the first two wines we made. Two bottles that are perfectly interchangeable, at any meal, with drinkability our foremost concern, while always considering the territory they come from, and thus promoting its savory properties. The priority is territoriality, with one eye on drinkability for the two labels we simply call Roero and Roero Riserva. The difference between these two labels is made by the vine: not the intensity of the processing nor any extended refinement.

A Nebbiolo that is an old world soul. Dried red fruit along with herbs and tar on the nose. A body that is well structured, showing layers of earth. Good structure on the finish that lingers pleasantly.
