This great and noble Piedmontese varietal, thanks to the soil – calcareous, as in the Langhe, but softer – produces wines that are packed with aromas and plenty of body without being overwhelming. The resulting wines present balanced tannins and a great elegance matched by their mouth-filling qualities.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoero Srü is an exemplary interpretation of these characteristics and takes its name from the production vineyard, which is precisely a cru of the municipality of Canale and is part of the cru map (MGA) in force since 2017. This vineyard has a very sandy soil, and the fossil shells that emerge from the ground testify to the presence of the sea that covered the area millions of years ago.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNebbiolo grapes from this vineyard have a typically Roero style, with a natural balance between body and tannins, which makes the Roero Srü fully appreciable from its second year, with no need to wait for long refinements in the bottle. Its maximum qualitative expression is reached after a period of medium-long aging, which can easily exceed 15 years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe grapes are picked in mid-October, and undergo lengthy, traditional-style fermentation, with long periods of contact between the skins and the liquid, to extract as much as possible from the skins. The wine is then drawn off the skins, and matured in small French oak casks for around 18 months before completing its aging in the bottle.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003elively, with bright soft ruby-red hues. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003eits great complexity means that the aromas develop slowly, blossoming into refined fruity hints of raspberry, followed by aristocratic undertones of spices and licorice. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003eaustere entry, with the tannins starting out slightly pronounced before gradually softening nicely into a long, stylish finish on which Roero’s fruity\/floral vein is brought on to the fullest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"specifiche\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wine-data\"\u003ethe elegance of the tannins makes it an ideal match for T-bone steaks and grilled veal fillets, or pasta with meat sauce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEARN MORE: Follow\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Wine For Normal People - Nebbiolo rel=\" href=\"https:\/\/winefornormalpeople.libsyn.com\/ep-244-the-grape-miniseries-nebbiolo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto a podcast by Wine For Normal People that's useful for understanding more about the grape NEBBIOLO!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monchiero Carbone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37609642623166,"sku":"UVMC15","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/TWMC05_SRU_2015_Monchiero_Carbone_75cl_f04c7d28-cab9-4029-8fdf-7e41da09028d.png?v=1614227910"},{"product_id":"sauvignon-selezione-2010-edi-kante-75cl","title":"SAUVIGNON Selezione 2010 [Kante] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium Body, Dry (Sauvignon).
