Manuele Priolo

Micro producer from Roerino who describes the land he respectfully guards and cultivates as follows: “One of the oldest plans of the Pleistocene. New areas, currently unexplored by roero viticulture. Changing soils: in a few meters you pass from the loess of the Poirinese plateau, (a very fine wind deposit created in glacial periods with erosion caused by strong winds and cold), to the blue clay of the Zancleano, interspersed with white calcareous marl, passing through the best known Asti sand. A heterogeneity of soils that will cause me many stomach aches due to the difficulty and diversity of management, but which fully reflects the beauty of the wines that will result from it, giving each finished product a piece of its origin and its past. Soils of deltic and lagoon origin, visible from the detritus skeleton blunted and rounded by river waters, which, in addition to small mollusks, have seen placid mastodons, bovids, bears and prehistoric equines graze, in a world that thinks of the roero that passed exclusively under the Po Valley sea of the Piedmontese tertiary basin. Soils that ask for nothing more than to be valued as they deserve.”
