The Roero has an antique land that is millions of years old, dominated by sandstone, sedimentary rocks of mixed marine origin made up of limestone, clay and naturally, sand which makes it soft and permeable.

This yellowish Astian sand goes back to the middle Pliocene age due to the erosion caused by the deviation of the River Tanaro that made the “Rocche” (deep calanques that are typical of the Roero). The wines that come from the land of Roero are full bodied with elegance, floral and fruity with mineral notes.

The Langhe, land to the right of the River Tanaro, is older and goes back to the Miocene age. It is dominated by marl, sedimentary rocks of limestone and clay that are of marine origin and are bluish or white to grey. The red wines that give this land feature for the great structure and power and need a long ageing to better emphasize the typicalness.
