Roero is a geographical area in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is most well-known for its wine production, particularly the Roero DOCG, a white wine made from Arneis grapes, and Roero Rosso, a red wine made primarily from Nebbiolo grapes. The area is rich in vineyards and orchards, and its hilly landscape is perfect for grape growing.
Roero is located on the left bank of the Tanaro river, right across from the famous Barolo and Barbaresco regions. Its soil consists of sand, limestone and clay, and the climate is continental with heavy rainfall in spring and autumn.
In addition to wine, Roero is also known for its peaches and its local specialty, the "Madernassa" pear. The region is also rich in castles, medieval churches and towers, adding to its charm and making it a popular destination for tourists.
The biodiversity of this area is preserved with an extensive network of protected areas and parks, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The gastronomy of Roero is another highlight, with a rich culinary tradition that perfectly matches the local wines.
