Imagine driving along the hilly roads of Roero, sopra Piedmont, with the curves that acceso panoramas of vineyards as far as the eye can see, medieval castles and villages suspended over time. The air smells of must and earth, and each hill holds a treasure: a cellar, a story, a wine.
Welcome to one of the most authentic and surprising territories of the winery Piedmont. I have been there many times, but the cellars that struck me the most are three: I’ll tell you.
The Roero: Land of Arneis, Nebbiolo and Barbera
Unlike the best known Langa, Roero is wilder, more sandy, more aromatic. Here elegant wines are born but of strong identity. The Roero Arneis, fresh and fragrant white, is the emblem of the territory: mineral, floral, with perfumes of white fishing and chamomile. The Nebbiolo del Roero are more snello and fragrant than the barolist cousins, but voto negativo less long ora deep for this. And then there is the Barbera, energetic, vibrant, who sopra Cru as Bric Loira reaches extraordinary peaks.
The winery experience sopra the Roero is intimate and authentic: family -run cellars, direct welcome, and landscapes still far from mass tourist flows. A perfect place for those looking for wine … with the soul.
The cellars of the Roero
Stage 1 – Casa colonica Grano (channel) one of the most representative cellars of the Roero, Casa colonica Grano welcomes you sopra a modern seat but rooted sopra tradition, with a suggestive underground barrica dug sopra the hill. Here you can taste a complete selection of the great Roero wines: the end of Roero Arneis Anterisio, the vibrant Barbera Bric Loira, and the noble Nebbiolo Mompissano, up to the Barolo Rocche intorno a Castelletto, a sign of virtuous expansion sopra Langa.

Stage 3– de Marie (Vezza d’) a small family -run reality that expresses the true artisan soul of Roero. At the De Marie you will be welcomed by the producers themselves, ready to tell you the story of their family, the vineyard and the territory.
The flagship? The Roero Docg, elegant and floral, refined sopra large wood, but also a Roero Arneis with intense scents and a classic method produced with care and patience.
The tastings take place sopra a rustic and authentic environment, perhaps with a few slice of salami and a slice of hazelnut cake.
