Olivero Mario
Via Fontanassa 18 Roddi CN | T. +39 0173 615256
History
I’m in charge of the vineyards, I deeply respect and demand the most from them. We carry out low environmental impact natural viticulture, where the utmost attention to detail is needed. That is why I decided to limit my production at 30000 bottles per year, to be sure that every bottle and every glass of my wines are able to tell our story.
People
Olivero Mario is above all a family and then a winery. My name is Lorenzo, and I‘m working together with my father Mario, since 2003, the year when this adventure started. We love rich bouquet, well-structured and full bodied wines, that’s why we produce them with the utmost care, little technology and a lot of manual labor.
Vineyards
In Roddi, where the winery is located, Olivero’s family own some vineyards, while their other vineayrds are located in La Morra, Alba and Rodello, about 15 km from the winery. The family own 6 hecatres in total, and they make 30000 bottles per year.
Wines
We cultivate since the beginning the native typical grape varieties: Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, but in 2016 I decided to also introduce two non-indigenous varieties, Manzoni Bianco (cross between Riesling and Pinot Blanc) and Merlot. Because I love challenging myself, the conventions and the common thinking of Langhe.
Winery tours
Olivero Mario’s winery is open everyday for wine tastings, but reservation is recommended. The winery tour includes a free tasting of 2 wines and a tour in their vineayrds, depending on the weather condtions. In order to book you can contact them by phone or email, and you can directly buy their wines in the cellar.
