Most wine drinkers know the prestige (and price) associated with the terms "Barolo" and "Barbaresco." And most know that Nebbiolo d'Alba and Langhe Nebbiolo are lesss expensive siblings made from the same Nebbiolo fruit, usually produce from younger vines. The term "Roero" doesn't get the same respect, although it should. A Roero red wine, usually made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, comes from vineyards just across the river from Alba and has many traits in common with those from the other side. This Antaniolo Roero Riserva is a good example.
Deep, dark ruby. Beautiful aromas of rose petals, crushed cherries and black raspberries. Grippy tannins on the mid-palate and intense, expressive fruit on the finish. The depth and complexity of a serious wine.
