The Buyer | Why it’s the right time for buyers to discover Nebbiolo from Roero

The fourth iteration of Nebbiolo Day was the largest yet, with over 90 producers and ambassadors for the variety travelling to London. Organised by Walter Speller MW, Italy editor at jancisrobinson.com, the event offered a nuanced and comprehensive view of the grape. Particularly fascinating was a spotlight on the wines from Roero, a region that has long been a 'dark kitchen' for Barolo and Barbaresco but is now finally being given the credit it deserves. For a buyer, it offers a better by-the-glass price, faster list rotation and stronger cash flow. Jason Millar reports.
