Medium crimson/ruby in colour. A whiff of vanilla oak amongst the earthy aromas. Sandy fine tarry tannins. Thanks to the contribution of Matteo Correggia the Roero now has DOCG status which is why this wine is in the 1001 Wines book. Just medium weight but with 100% new French oak, so a modern approach. Good accompaniment to Roast Pork for Sunday lunch. Drinking well now but would drink the next 2 bottles by its 10th birthday in 2023. Tasted again 48 weeks later on 17 October 2019. Fine powdery Tannins to add to notes above. Oak not as prominent. A nice sweetness to the palate. Went well with home made pizza.

Impressive perfumes, it begins with fruit and marmalade, in a second time powder, cherry in alcohol, a very complex bouquet.
Massive tannins but not aggressive, acidity well balanced, Balsamic and fascinating.
