Cornarea Nebbiolo d'Alba

A world-famous winery in Roero, the Cornarea family replanted the Arneis grape in the Cornarea hills in 1970. Besides white wine, they also produce exquisite red wines from the Nebbiolo d'Alba grape. The winery is located in the heart of Roero, in the Cornarea hills. This is where the beautiful winery is located, as are the vineyards, which are in magnificent condition. It's immediately apparent that great care is taken over the vineyards and the size of their grapes. It's a true family winery, with father and mother Piero and Francesca, and their sons Gian Nicola and Pierfranco. Their rich history and extensive knowledge of Roero wines are thus passed on to their sons.
