Roero rosso DOCG 2021

The Azienda Agricola Valfaccenda was founded in 2010 by Luca Faccenda and his partner Carolina Roggera in Canale. On the steep and sandy hills of the Roero, Luca and Carolina grow only the autochthonous grape varieties Nebbiolo and Arneis - in the firm knowledge that only grape varieties with indigenous roots are able to authentically reflect their origin on the bottle. The two hectares owned by the estate are situated around the winery near Canale. Other areas on the hills Le Rocche, the landmark of Roero, as well as in Vezza, Madonnna di Loreto in Canale and San Grato in Santo Stefano are cultivated on lease. The soils of the Roero are made up of sand, which in ancient times formed the seabed of the Gulf of Padania and sometimes appears mixed with clay sediments. In 2014, Luca Faccenda registered the farm for organic certification to allow his vines the best conditions for the authentic expression of Roero. 

Transparent ruby red.

The 2021 Roero Rosso Nebbiolo from Valfaccenda shines on the nose with flawless cherry fruit, ranging from sour cherry to black cherry. A little plum and the obligatory core note in the background fill its fruit basket, which also contains blackberries and mulberries. A slightly ethereal hint of orange zest, delicate cedar and dark, spicy notes of black and white pepper with citric overtones hover over everything.

Juicy and fresh, the Roeros from Valfaccenda always deliver more than reliable lupine Nebbiolo enjoyment for every day. This Roero is not something that should be cellared forever, but an open-hearted and uncomplicated wine in the best sense of the word with a clear varietal character, youthful yet polished tannins and animating acidity that accompanies it into the ethereally cool finish. For every opportunity that presents itself.
