Carlo Costa

Carlo Costa operates within the confines of the Roero DOCG, where Nebbiolo climbs slopes of marl and sand distributed among the 19 municipalities of the denomination. His red wines respect the mandatory aging of at least 20 months, the time necessary for the tannins to shed their assertiveness and convert into elegance, with an alcohol content starting from 12.5%: the threshold from which, in this terroir, concentration truly begins to make itself felt. Alongside the red, white production revolves around Arneis, a variety that finds minerality and precise contours in the sandy soils of Roero. The result is dry and structured wines, where the character of the soil prevails over vintage fluctuations: it is geology, more than climatic contingency, that dictates the physiognomy of the bottle. Costa thus interprets a transitional landscape, conveying an idea of Roero characterized by tension and clarity rather than opulence, where each label primarily records the nature of the soil that generated it.
