Roero "Le Coste" 2022 Magnum

Alberto Oggero's Roero "Le Coste" is produced in Santo Stefano Roero from Nebbiolo grapes.

"It's very simple, Yuri, the one we see in front of us is Anime, while the adjacent vineyard, which also extends behind the hill, is Le Coste." From Alberto's courtyard, Le Coste is right there, a sandy-clay terrace facing south that vaguely turns west, a steep vineyard with anything but easy slopes. It flows... the wine flows wonderfully; the essence of Nebbiolo is pure, sensual, feminine. Acidity plays a fundamental role, in constant balance with the alcoholic component, and a fruit that is not at all distorted by wood aging. Roero Le Coste is undoubtedly terroir, it is Roero.

The Winery: Alberto Oggero

Alberto Oggero was born and raised in Roero, in Santo Stefano Roero to be exact, in the courtyard and house that has also been his winery since 2009. He is not a salesman, he is not one to pretend to be something he is not; Alberto is exactly that guy who, since childhood, has experienced the territory, and by helping his grandfather, learned all those lessons that today allow him to make wine as it once was, but with current knowledge. He respects the rhythm of the vineyard, he respects the timings dictated by the cellar, he respects Roero, the land that saw him born and grow as a person and as a winemaker. Precisely for this reason, Alberto cultivates and vinifies only the native grapes of Roero, Nebbiolo and Arneis, and he does so by respecting both the grape variety and the plant, with an organic approach to viticulture, and by vinifying in an artisanal way, without resorting to filtration or fining, nor to selected yeasts. All vinifications are natural, with spontaneous fermentations and aging aimed at enhancing the fruit and the terroir.
