A new-wave Roero from a producer who walked away from corporate life to come home. Stefano Occhetti was born in Monteu Roero, then spent years working as an engineer abroad before quitting in 2019 to take over his family's small parcel (roughly 1.8 hectares at the start, since expanded). The Riserva comes from the vineyard his grandfather planted in 1945 — gnarled, low-yielding Nebbiolo in Roero's famous sand-rich soils. The 2020 vintage was the first year Stefano separated out the oldest vines for this bottling, and 2021 continues the project. Spontaneous fermentation, no shortcuts, aged in French oak. Roero sits across the Tanaro from Barolo and Barbaresco; sandy soils give Nebbiolo a perfumed, lifted character that drinks earlier than the Langhe heavyweights — but in Riserva form, with old-vine concentration, has serious staying power.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Agnolotti del plin, braised rabbit with herbs, roast guinea fowl, mushroom risotto, beef brasato, or aged Toma and Castelmagno. Roero Nebbiolo loves the full sweep of Piedmontese cooking.

Tasting Profile

Bright garnet. Aromas of red cherry, rose petal, dried orange peel and a savory tobacco note. Medium-bodied, the tannins sandy and lifted (very Roero), with bright acidity and a long, perfumed finish.
