Roero Riserva Occhetti 2023

The Roero DOCG Riserva 'Occhetti' by Stefano Occhetti (Monteu Roero) represents the most majestic, deeply structured, and age-worthy expression in Stefano and Giulia Occhetti's portfolio. Sourced from the iconic 'Occhetti' MGA—a site historically revered for fine Nebbiolo and sharing an intimate family connection—the vines thrive on steep, fossil-rich sandy-marl slopes. This Riserva is crafted to highlight the monumental aging capacity and aristocratic depth of Roero Nebbiolo.

Cellar practices uphold strict artisanal discipline: natural spontaneous fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts and extended skin maceration to extract noble, tight-grained tannins. The wine undergoes a prolonged maturation period in traditional oak casks followed by extensive bottle conditioning. Stefano Occhetti's Roero Riserva Occhetti emerges as a powerful, balsam-scented red—seamlessly blending Roero's signature soaring floral perfume with firm structural muscle, vibrant saline-mineral drive, and multi-decadal longevity.
