Read moreThe Roero zone is situated on the left bank of the Tanaro River, opposite the powerful hills of the Barolo region. The soil here is rich in sand and ancient marine fossils. This dictates that the red wine (Roero Rosso) produced from Nebbiolo grapes is much more approachable, smelling of ripe strawberries and roses, with softer tannins than its neighbors. It is a wine that can be enjoyed much earlier in its life.
The region is also particularly famous for its white wines. Roero Arneis is one of Italy's finest and most popular white wines, delighting the palate with aromas of white flowers, peaches, pears, and almonds. It is an ideal, refreshing Italian wine that pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, spring salads, or fresh seafood.
How does Roero Rosso differ from Barolo or Barbaresco?
Although all are made from the same Nebbiolo grape, Roero's sandy soils produce a lighter, more elegant wine that matures faster. Barolo and Barbaresco are more massive and require longer aging, whereas Roero can be thoroughly enjoyed after just a few years.
Are Roero red wines suitable for long-term cellaring?
Yes. While they become approachable earlier, Roero "Riserva" wines from top producers possess excellent potential and can age successfully in a cellar for 8 to 15 years.
What is the best serving temperature for wines from this region?
The white Roero Arneis should be served well-chilled (around 8–10 °C). Serve the red Roero at approximately 16–18 °C, and more mature bottles benefit from decanting before tasting.
