Cascina Roera Wine Tasting

On Wed., January 21, from 6pm-8pm, there wi be a special wine tasting at Salem Wine Imports. They will host two Italian wine makers, Claudio Rosso and Piero Nebiolo of the Cascina Roera winery (www.cascinaroera.com) in Costigliole d'Asti, Italy. (Yes, those are their real names!)

Piero and Claudio will be there to talk about their wines and the Piemonte region. The winery has only been around since 2002 yet has already garnered an excellent reputation. The vineyards are managed organically, they have some old vines, and the philosophy in the cellar is to start with superior grapes and interfere as little as possible. This is the first time that Piero and Claudio have been to the Boston area.
