ROERO

Roero, situated on the left bank of the Tanaro River, is a relative newcomer to the scene, located in a geologically newer area compared to its renowned counterparts on the right bank. While Nebbiolo remains the red grape of choice, this day will unveil the unique characteristics of Arneis.

Our exploration kicks off at the winery that brought this white grape into prominence.

Following this, we'll venture to a family-owned and -operated winery, indulging in a tasting featuring six distinct wines paired with a home-cooked Piemontese lunch.

To conclude our day, we'll visit an iconic and historically significant winery, still under family ownership and known for its warm hospitality.

Our farewell dinner unfolds in Alba at a local restaurant, marking the culmination of our journey.
