Crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, it captures the elegance and perfume that have made this commune famous, while the larger bottle format has allowed it to age with exceptional grace. Sourced from the historic Roggeri cru, this wine brings together five generations of Oberto family know‑how and one of Barolo’s most revered terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2007 Roggeri Barolo shows a deep garnet core with brick and tawny reflections at the rim, a textbook appearance for a well‑cellared, mature Nebbiolo. The nose is complex and evolving, with layers of dried cherries, rose petals and violet, followed by notes of tar, leather, tobacco leaf and sweet spice. Subtle hints of truffle, forest floor, dried herbs and a touch of balsamic round out an aromatic profile that is both classic and inviting.\n\nOn the palate, this Barolo is refined and harmonious, with the structure of the 2007 vintage now beautifully integrated. Flavours of macerated red berries, sour cherry and dried plum mingle with notes of licorice, cocoa, cedar and gentle vanilla from long cask aging. The tannins, once firm, have become silky yet still provide a fine, chalky grip, supported by bright, savory acidity that keeps the wine lively and food‑friendly. In magnum, this 2007 still has further life ahead of it; while drinking wonderfully now, it can continue to evolve gracefully for several more years under proper cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoggeri is one of La Morra’s historic crus, a hillside vineyard with calcareous clay and marl soils that naturally yield Nebbiolo of perfume, finesse and length. The Oberto family at Ciabot Berton farm these slopes with a deep respect for the land, focusing on careful canopy management and low yields to ensure optimal ripeness and concentration. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at full phenolic maturity, parcel by parcel, to capture the nuances of each plot. In the cellar, the Roggeri fruit is traditionally vinified: extended maceration on the skins to extract aromatics, tannin and color, followed by long aging in large oak casks (and sometimes a combination with smaller barrels, depending on the vintage) to refine structure without overshadowing the vineyard character. Bottling in magnum further slows the evolution, preserving freshness and complexity over the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis mature Barolo is a natural partner for classic Piemontese dishes such as brasato al Barolo (wine‑braised beef), tajarin with truffle, agnolotti del plin, or rich veal and game stews. It also pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, mature hard cheeses and earthy mushroom or truffle‑based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) and, given both its age and magnum format, decant gently for 1–2 hours to allow the bouquet to fully open while minimizing sediment. Use large, tulip‑shaped glasses to highlight the wine’s aromatic complexity and silky texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCiabot Berton is a family‑run estate in La Morra whose roots in winegrowing stretch back five generations, binding the Oberto family to the hills where their Barolo is born. The story began in 1876 when their great‑great‑grandmother Maria purchased her first vineyard in the Rive cru; over time the mixed farm transitioned to a dedicated wine estate under Luigi in the 1950s. The first Barolo was bottled in 1961, and through the 1960s and 70s the family expanded their holdings, including key parcels in the renowned Roggeri cru inherited by Luigi’s wife, Maria Beatrice. In the 1990s, Luigi’s children Marco (an oenologist) and Paola (an agronomist) joined, ushering in a new era of quality with meticulous vineyard work and separate vinification of individual parcels. Today, Ciabot Berton is recognized as a benchmark producer in La Morra, known for Barolo that marries elegance and finesse with a precise expression of terroir, particularly in their single‑vineyard bottlings like Roggeri.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciabot Berton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256133275985,"sku":"EOW-CIABER-RØDV-2007-150","price":289.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/DSC09336-Edit.png?v=1783462838","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/ciabot-berton-barolo-roggeri-2007-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
