'Le Coste' is Alberto's clearest statement of terroir: a single 30-year-old, south-facing vineyard where Roero's sandy soils, tempered by a touch more clay, shape a Nebbiolo of remarkable finesse and transparency. Aged for 12 months in large oak casks, the 2023 allows the character of this exceptional site to take center stage. Fragrant aromas of rose petals, red cherry, wild raspberry, and sweet spice lead into a palate layered with cranberry, blood orange, dried herbs, and subtle earth. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity lend precision and length, while the finish remains lifted, savory, and quietly persistent. Elegant yet deeply expressive, this is a compelling expression of both Nebbiolo and the singular terroir of Roero.
