Giovanni Almondo

Roero Nebbiolo and Arneis from Piemonte's steep, mineral hillsides.

Giovanni Almondo works the steep hillsides of Roero in Piemonte, where Nebbiolo thrives in the region's distinctive sandy and clay soils. The winery's Roero Riserva, built from Nebbiolo and the local Lampia clone, expresses the structure and complexity the appellation demands. Alongside it stands Bricco delle Ciliegie Arneis Roero, a white wine from Arneis—Roero's signature variety—which captures the mineral precision and aromatic lift the terroir imparts. A Nebbiolo Langhe rounds out the core range, drawing from the broader hillside vineyards of the region. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. The portfolio reflects a producer attuned to Piemonte's classical grapes and the particular character of Roero's soils and elevation.
