DOCG Roero

The Roero territory locates to the right of the Tanaro river, in a hilly zone of steep slopes and cliffs with ochre-yellow soil.
This territory gives its name to a Docg wine obtained from 95% of Nebbiolo grapes and the addition of 5% of other red, non-aromatic varieties suitable for cultivation in Piedmont.
Roero wine, put on the market as from the 1st July of the second year successive to the harvest, is characterised by:
Ruby or garnet red.
Fruity and characteristic with occasional wooden scents
Dry, good texture, harmonious and sometimes tannic.
Minimum alcohol content: 12,5% by volume.
Minimum total acidity: 4,5 per thousand.
Minimum non-reducing extract: 22 g/litre.
When Roero wine is put on the market as from the 1st of July of the third year after the vintage it can be labelled “riserva” (reserve).
