Description
"A layered wine with complex aromas of strawberries, red cherries and blood oranges with some rosemary and dried flowers. Full-bodied, weighty and dense, with velvety tannins and long, refreshing acidity. Quite rich. Drink or hold." - 90-94 points, James Suckling
"Federico Seghesio and his father, Renzo, long eyed the Nebbiolo vineyards that grow at the “triangle” where Monforte, La Morra, and Santa Maria come together, so when the opportunity to acquire the Roè parcel arose, they jumped. It’s a small vineyard that is just about five acres in size, and is named for the Roe deer that roam the wooded hillsides on its eastern flank. For those who like the details: Planted in 1993, Roè’s Nebbiolo is harvested by hand, sorted twice, destemmed and bladder pressed into stainless steel tanks by gravity flow…no stirring. After its first winter in stainless gravity again assists to move Roè to large Slovenian botti (traditional wood ovals), where it rested until bottling this year. Prior to bottling it received a slight plaque filtration. That’s it. And one more thing: it's fabulous." - Importer's Notes
