Sorano

A dry, full-bodied wine with sensations of incense

Let’s see the characteristics that distinguish the Roero DOCG Riserva “Sorano”

The Filippo Gallino farm produces the Roero DOCG Riserva “Sorano” wine, a spiced wine born from meticulous production work. The name derives from the word “Suran”, which in the local dialect represents the highest, windiest and sunniest Roerese hill.
