Vezza d’Alba - Antica Cascina dei Conti Roero



Roero Arneis Vezza d’Alba by Antica Cascina dei Conti Roero. This is the native white grape variety that best expresses the Roero terroir. The grapes grow in sandy soil, a reminder of the ancient seabed and still rich in fossil shells today. This wealth is expressed in intense mineral notes. This single-grape Arneis can age for several years, becoming more refined and aristocratic the older it gets.

Roero Arneis Vezza d’Alba by Antica Cascina dei Conti Roero



This is the native white grape variety that best expresses the Roero terroir. The grapes grow in sandy soil, a reminder of the ancient seabed and still rich in fossil shells today. This wealth is expressed in intense mineral notes. This single-grape Arneis can age for several years, becoming more refined and aristocratic the older it gets.

Vinification: soft pressing. No maceration on skins Slow fermentation at a temperature of 16/17°C, to guarantee conservation of the aromas

Ageing: in steel tanks for six months



Sensorial overview: straw yellow colour with greenish highlights; delicate bouquet of white flowers, acacia, honey and chamomile. Notes that evolve with age into hydrocarbons, flint and scents of hay. Nicely mineral, balanced, with a floral aftertaste slightly reminiscent of crusty bread, golden delicious apples and pineapple.



Us: Daniela and Luigi

We arrived on the estate in the Nineties, just after we got married. We grew up among the vineyards, hills and people of the Roero district. Both of us come from farming families. The land is in our blood.

Our idea of winegrowing can be explained in a single word: authenticity. This is a concept that we apply in the vineyard, in the cellar and in our life. We have decided to believe in and use only native gape varieties: Nebbiolo, Arneis, Favorita and Barbera



The history of the estate

The Antica Cascina dei Conti di Roero estate was established in the early 1950s, when the Olivero family, Daniela’s parents, bought the Valmenera farmhouse in Vezza d’Alba. They added the land and vineyards already owned in the Certuti region, better known as Sru, in the municipal districts of Canale and Monteu Roero, now a UNESCO World Heritage core zone. In the beginning, it was a typical farm, cultivating fruit, vines and cereal crops, as well as keeping livestock. The turnaround came in the early Seventies, when the decision was made to focus exclusively on viticulture and winemaking.



Our World Heritage Roero vineyards

We have 13.5 hectares of estate-owned vineyards in an area acknowledged by UNESCO as World Heritage, due to the beauty of its vineyard landscape. Our first investment, in 1998, was the purchase of Casina Penna, in the municipality of Canale. Over the years, we have continued to invest and to grow. Today we make about 100 thousand bottles. This isn’t a job, its our way of life. We have lots of plans and we’d like to tell you a little bit about them!



Values

We love and respect our vineyards and, in 2016, we joined “The Green Experience”, a project conceived by Coldiretti Cuneo; a certification for those who want to implement sustainable viticulture, using the green manure technique and sowing flowers and pulses in autumn.
