Descrizione

Mario Marengo’s Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC Valmaggiore comes from Roero, specifically the area around Vezza d’Alba, one of the region’s recognised vineyard locations. This red wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes and reflects the winemaking traditions of Piedmont. The Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC designation identifies wines produced in the Langhe and Roero areas, where the Nebbiolo grape develops a distinctive regional character.

This wine is well suited to Piedmontese cuisine and convivial meals. It pairs naturally with savoury pasta dishes, tajarin, risotto, roasted meats, braised dishes and medium-aged cheeses. Served at the appropriate temperature, it best expresses the structure and balance associated with Piedmontese Nebbiolo. The Valmaggiore name refers to the origin of the grapes in a renowned hillside area of Roero. This bottle is therefore an appealing choice for anyone wishing to explore a territory-driven expression of Nebbiolo d’Alba, while enjoying a versatile red wine alongside traditional dishes and carefully prepared everyday meals.
