“Stylistically the wine is changing and will as we move further to Barbaresco fruit. Roero is famous for Nebbiolo because of it’s sandier soil that make wines more approachable. More finer tension, they actually evolve quite fast as well, over short periods that become really soft and developed. My intention is to move over to Barbaresco to reflect what I’m doing with the Barbaresco Crus. The Barbaresco zone from brings in more complex, more structured version than any other fruit so it just it gives more backbone to the wine, making this blend more serious than just the classical 100% Roero style. So you’ll see that evolution over the next few years as we develop a greater percentage of Barbaresco coming into the Langhe Nebbiolo.” – David
