Roero Riserva San Michele 2019 DOC Porello

The Roero Riserva San Michele 2019 DOC Porello is a full-bodied red wine for aging that accurately and characterfully interprets the 100% Nebbiolo of the Piedmontese tradition. Signed by Porello Marco Azienda Agricola, it comes from a vineyard located in the municipality of Canale, in a hilly position facing southwest that contributes to giving the wine maturity, balance, and an expressive texture of great finesse. It is a bottle designed for those seeking a territorial, authentic wine capable of evolving over time.

Territory and wine style

This Roero Riserva comes from a vocated context, with calcareous sandy and clayey soils that favor structure, tension, and aromatic complexity. The harvest, carried out by hand in mid-October, selects ripe and healthy grapes, while the winemaking involves crushing with destemming, maceration of 10/12 days, and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel. Maturation in oak barrels completes the wine's profile, accompanying the elegance of Nebbiolo without overshadowing its identity. The result is a classic, deep, and rigorous red, but also refined and harmonious.

Tasting notes

On the palate, the wine shows intensity, character, and a well-defined structure, supported by a freshness typical of the grape variety and tannins that promise further integration over time. The finish is long, persistent, and very elegant, a sign of a red built to accompany evolution in the bottle.
