Tasting Notes: The Alberto Oggero Roero Bianco is from 20-30 year old organic Arneis vines. More texture and body than a typical Arneis, but not less fragrant, this elegant white has peach pit, spiced apple and almond notes that lead to a mid-weight, supple frame with pear and white pepper on the palate. Rich yet lean this is the perfect wine with cured meats, roast chicken or fish.
Estate History: Alberto Oggero bottled his first wine in 2009. A young, enthusiastic winemaker from Canale, in Piemonte, his goal is to create wines that combine drinkability with a strong expression of terroir; savory and soulful renditions of Arneis and Nebbiolo unique to the Roero. Alberto spent his childhood following his grandfather, Sandro, through the family vineyards, spending as much time as possible among the vines. Alberto's parents never went into wine, so when Sandro sadly passed away in 1999, Alberto, who had just finished a degree in enology in Alba, decided to return home and take over the family's 2ha of vineyards. In the sandy limestone vineyards, all the farming is organic, and, in the cellar, only native yeasts are used, with no fining or filtration.
