Roero is a wine region within the Cuneo province of Piedmont, Italy. It surrounds the district of Alba, on the west side of the Tanaro River. The region is named for a family who were active in the banking and trading business for some time in the Medieval period. 
 
The Nebbiolo DOCG is located within Roero, where the grape takes on a rich, softer and more fruit-driven character than in nearby Barolo and Barbaresco communes. Nebbiolo DOCG must age a minimum 20 months, and another 12 months additionally to be labeled Riserva. Roero Nebbiolo Superiore must age at least 8 months in barrel. Roero Rosso must consist of 95-98% Nebbiolo.
 
The other small percentage is often the local white regional celebrity grape Arneis, to soften the sharp tannins. But Arneis of course has its own varietal DOCG, its name meaning “little rascal” in Piedmontese. This is a sleeper of a white grape, gaining popularity for its aromatics and versatility late in the 20th century. For Read more »

Never Drink Italian Wine Without Food

As usual in May I traveled to Alba, an old favorite town, for Vinum2012 to see my friends the producers, to eat the best food ever, and to taste and enjoy the spectacle of 60 different Barolo and the same number of Barbera, Nebbiolo 100 percent, Dolcet...

My first Arneis. A little too much heat for me, but behind the heat is some nice "cloudiness" with apricot hints and even some mint. I would not buy again at this price point.

A perfect pairing for the Bagna Cauda. It’s bright fruit and acidity cut through the Bagna Cuada and refreshed the palate for the vegetables that accompanied the dish. While the scents of flowers, peaches, and almonds were a welcome addition to this li...

The nose was big and rich, yet lovely, with red berries, spice cookie and apple butter. On the palate, I found lean red fruit against rugged structured Nebbiolo tannin. The finish followed suit, showing its structure and promising a long life ahead.

The color was ruby red and quite pretty look at. On the nose, I found masses of floral notes, much like a Lacrima d'Alba with lavender and violets. Further exploration revealed chalk dust and minerals with lemon balm and stems. On the palate, it was li...
