Alberto Oggero Sandro d'Pindeta Nebbiolo 2022

Sandro d'Pindeta comes from Alberto Oggero's sandiest plot and is made entirely without oak, in concrete.

The Sandro Caudana site at Santo Stefano Roero sits at 280 metres with a southerly exposure and 25-year-old vines, on soil as close to pure sand as Roero offers. Sand drains quickly and holds little nutrition, which keeps yields modest and tannins fine, and it is the reason Roero Nebbiolo reads as lighter and more perfumed than its Langhe counterparts. The fruit was picked by hand and destemmed before eight to ten days in contact with the skins, followed by a soft pressing. Oggero's stated aim is to combine fruit freshness with the aroma of the earth and to lighten the bold strength usually associated with Nebbiolo. Fermentation ran on indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks and no oak was used at any stage. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Drinking well on release and for around five years. Serve at 16–18°C with tajarin, roast pork or a soft washed-rind cheese.
