Roero rosso DOCG 2021 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Roero rosso DOCG 2021 1500ml Magnum by Valfaccenda

Colour & Appearance

Transparent, luminous ruby red with youthful brilliance – a classic appearance for Nebbiolo from Roero that announces the elegance of this provenance right in the glass.

Nose

Pristine cherry fruit dominates the bouquet: from sour cherry through black heart cherry to damson, accompanied by a characteristic stone fruit note. Blackberries and mulberries complement the fruit spectrum. Hovering above is an ethereal note of orange zest, delicate cedarwood nuances and a spicy medley of black and white pepper with citrus accents – an aromatic kaleidoscope that will delight Nebbiolo purists.

Palate

Juicy, fresh and delightfully accessible, this Roero presents itself as an open-hearted Nebbiolo for everyday drinking. The youthful, polished tannins display structure without harshness, whilst an invigorating acidity provides tension and drinking flow. Not a wine for long-term cellaring, but an uncomplicated pleasure with clear varietal character and authentic terroir expression.

Finish

Ethereally cool and refreshing, carried by the lively acidity that is typical of Roero’s sandy soils. Medium length with lingering fruit and spice notes.

Terroir & Provenance

The grapes come from organically farmed vineyards on the characteristic sandy hills of Roero, including the prestigious vineyard site Le Rocche. The soils, composed of ancient sea sand and partly interspersed with clay deposits, give this Nebbiolo its typical elegance and fine tannin structure – a contrast to the more powerful Barolos from clay-marl.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Nebbiolo from Luca Faccenda and Carolina Roggera, who have worked consistently organically since 2014. Their philosophy: only indigenous grape varieties can authentically express provenance. The winemaking aims for fruit clarity and accessibility rather than longevity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Versatile companion to Ossobuco Milanese, grilled grey mullet with confit pointed peppers and walnuts or baked salsify with tarragon vinaigrette and roasted hazelnuts. The acidity and moderate tannin structure harmonise equally well with Pasta al Ragù or aged cheese.

Special Features

The magnum bottle (1500ml) offers not only visual impact but also optimal ageing conditions. Organically certified since 2014. An authentic everyday Nebbiolo that prioritises drinking pleasure over complexity – and thus intelligently fills a market gap.
