The Roero Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) appellation sits in the heart of Piedmont, the iconic wine-producing region in northwestern Italy. The region has earned a strong reputation for powerful, noble red wines, most notably the majestic and often pricey Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape. It’s also where you can find an abundance of hazelnuts, Madernassa pears, honey, and black and white truffles.
While a handful of other grape varieties are planted in the region, the soul of Roero is swathed in both red and white. It’s known for robust red wines made from Nebbiolo, as you might expect. But it also boasts versatile white wines from the Arneis grape, a standout in this red-dominant area.
