Alberto Oggero Roero Le Coste Nebbiolo 2021

This is from Alberto Oggero’s grandfather’s vineyard in Le Coste (Santo Stefano Roero). The fruit from this vineyard bears wonderful depth from a higher concentration of clay and some nice age (30-year-old, guyot-pruned vines). Its southerly exposure makes this Oggero’s brightest site and ensures plenty of sunlight, no matter the vintage. This is the more classically styled regional rosso in the range, ideal for lovers of more traditional Nebbiolo d’Alba, but with a distinct Roero stamp. The fruit spent 25 days on skins and fermented in steel before 14 months in Slavonian oak tonneau and a further year in bottle before release.
