Fiero, Roero Arneis DOCG, comes from grapes harvested in the vineyards that the Gombo winery owns in Santa Vittoria d'Alba. We are at an altitude of about 340 metres above sea level, with a southern exposure, on the wide valley of the Tanaro river. We are in Roero land and the soil, unlike that of Barolo not far away, is more calcareous-sandy. Arneis is one of the few white grape varieties grown in Piedmont, which has always been considered a land of great reds. But if you are looking for a wine that is a little unconventional, you will find in this Arneis a perfect companion for lunches and dinners. A white wine to be consumed young, in the first year of life, in particular, it expresses intense fruity and floral aromas, combined with a natural sapidity and a pleasant softness. Served at a temperature of around 10 degrees, therefore very cool, it is the white wine that can be served without hesitation as an aperitif with friends. It is a good accompaniment to classic hors d'oeuvres, as well as first and second courses based on fish and shellfish.
This time we are in a simply magical place. Cascina Boschetti, in fact, is located on the top of the hill of the same name that overlooks the roofs of the houses of Barolo and the castle of the Marchesi Falletti where, just so we don't forget, the wine of kings saw the light. From the farm there is a breathtaking 360° view of the Langa hills and the many castles that dot them. The Gomba family has owned this farmhouse since 1991, when Sergio, the fifth generation of a historic Piedmontese family, bought it in the summer, just in time for his first harvest a few months later. At the time, the property comprised just one hectare of land and the grapes were vinified in a cellar in La Morra. The first bottles, however, already had the logo of the farmhouse on the label: a house on the hill with three trees and the design of the rows. And they have not changed since then. In 1998 the hectares became 11, while in 2003 the project to build a new winery and bottling area began. And although in 2005 the number of hectares under vine had risen to around 20, Sergio Gomba was still not fully satisfied. He decided to buy another 4 hectares, this time in the Roero region, to produce the other typical varieties of the region. Today Sergio Gomba produces almost 200,000 bottles a year, of which at least 90,000 are Barolo. But at Cascina Boschetti they always keep their feet firmly on the ground, in full respect of the Piedmontese motto: "Esageruma nen", let's not exaggerate.
