Roero Red 2020

The Roero Red by Massucco is produced in the Roero region, located in the Piedmont area of northwest Italy. This region is renowned for its unique terroir characterized by sandy soils and a continental climate, ideal for cultivating Nebbiolo grapes.

This wine is primarily made from the Nebbiolo grape variety, which is indigenous to Piedmont and known for producing wines with strong tannins, high acidity, and complex aromas.

The production of Roero Red involves careful hand-harvesting of Nebbiolo grapes followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape’s aromatic profile. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a period that enhances its structure and complexity, before bottling.
