The Winery
In the Roero, amidst wild scenary of particular charm and beauty, the presence of man is revealed by the mosaic of crops that penetrate among the oak, chestnut and Scotch pine woods, alternating in perfect harmony with the carefully laidout plots of vines, fruit trees, strawberries and asparagus. In the heart of this precious setting, where the first houses of the town of Canale are to be found, the roads which follow the rocky terrain, winding between the villages of Monteu and S. Stefano Roero, meet in peace of the softer slopes leading down from the ridge, on hills fashioned by the precise geometry of the vineyards. |
 At the top of the crest, looking out over fifteen hectares of vineyards, lies an elegant manor-house: the CORNAREA. Today, however, visitors are no longer welcomed by a notable man of the law, but by a gracious lady, whose charm is matched by her entrepreneurial talents and experience in the field of oenology: Francesca Rapetti. Ably assisted by her husband, she runs the CORNAREA winery, foremost among Roero wine-makers for its modern, functional structures. With typical womanly intuition, she has forged the character of the winery's production in her belief that the exposure of the hilly slopes to the sun, the nature of the soil and the microclimatic conditions to be found on this estate were best-suited to the growing of grapes destined to produce a wine of great finesse and elegance, with a fragrant aroma, and an intense, inviting flavour: Arneis. |
 The CORNAREA wine-company believed in this wine right from the start, and, first in the area to do so, invested heavily in total plant renewal and recovery of a "rare" vine which is today emblazoned with the D.O.C. appellation (Denomination of Controled Origin). Love for this white wine, however, has had to leave some room for a concession which is only too obvious in a land where red wines are something more than simply a tradition, succumbing to the attractions of ROERO D.O.C., a pleasant, breezy wine produced from the pressing of nebbiolo grapes of the highest quality, also grown on these slopes. |
 From the hills to the cellars, the passion for the vine turns into understanding and man demonstrates his talent for fulfilling the original qualities and character of the grape. Here again, CORNAREA has chosen with great care, working with the help of modern technology, while continuing to follow the rhythms and dictates of tradition. |
The result is to be found in the glass, where knowledge, hard work, intuition and research flow together. All of this is in the "CORNAREA" wines, a name which is now synonymous with high quality and unquestionable prestige. |
