Tasting Notes: Taste a new side of Nebbiolo. Sandro d'Pindeta showcases the juicier and more delicate side of this bold and powerful grape. Grown on well-draining sandy soils, the grapes are fermented spontaneously with wild yeasts before aging in cement for 6 months. After resting in bottle for another 6 months, this wine is already perfectly drinkable, unlike most styles of Nebbiolo. Named after Alberto's grandfather and mentor, Sandro d'Pindeta is loaded with fresh acidity, juicy cranberry and red cherry, and a delicate but well-balanced structure.
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.
