Descrizione

Il Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC della cantina Cornarea si presenta come una gemma dell'enologia piemontese, esprimendo al meglio il carattere del vitigno Nebbiolo. Questo vino rosso ha un corpo elegante e strutturato, con un colore che varia dal rosso rubino al granato con l'invecchiamento. Al naso si aprono complessi sentori di frutta rossa e nera, tra cui ciliegie, prugne e more, accompagnati da delicate note floreali di violetta.

Con il tempo, emergono anche sfumature terrose, di tabacco e spezie dolci, grazie all'affinamento in botte. Al palato, il Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC di Cornarea mostra una bella armonia tra tannini vigorosi ma setosi e un'acidità vivace, che conferiscono freschezza e longevità al vino. Il finale è lungo e persistente, con ritorni fruttati e speziati che invitano a un altro sorso.

È un vino versatile negli abbinamenti gastronomici, capace di accompagnare piatti di carne rossa, selvaggina, arrosti e formaggi stagionati. Ideale per essere degustato ora, può anche essere conservato in cantina per diversi anni, durante i quali svilupperà ulteriori complessità e profondità. Un'ottima scelta per gli amanti dei Nebbiolo e dei vini di qualità superiore del Piemonte.

Winery history

The winery's history is tied to the hill called Cornarea: the family bought the hill in the 1970s with the aim of replanting Arneis, the indigenous Roero grape variety that was almost lost at the time. The business has remained family-run over the years; family members today handle winemaking, commercial management and hospitality. A passito wine, Tarasco, also originated on the hill by chance from berries that had been left to dry, and was incorporated into the estate's production.

Production philosophy

Preserve the expressive character of the terroir through controlled, gentle winemaking practices, highlighting the native varieties of Roero and maintaining a strong link between vineyard and bottle.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the Cornarea hill in the municipality of Canale, in the hilly Roero area. The soils are predominantly sand and clay with a notable presence of magnesium; the average altitude of the vineyards is around 280 m above sea level. The main exposures are east, southeast, northeast and west.

Awards and recognitions

The Roero Arneis was listed in Gambero Rosso's Berebene 2021 guide in the Quality/Price Awards section.
