# Roero's 2027 Award Winners: The Arneis and Nebbiolo the Guides Picked

_Seven Tre Bicchieri, three snails and more: what Roero is, and every 2027 award winner from it that you can find on our site._

> Il Vino Bello, 2026-11-10. Il Vino Bello editorial (https://ilvinobello.com/editorial/roeros-2027-award-winners-the-arneis-and-nebbiolo-the-guides-picked).

Across the Tanaro from Barolo and Barbaresco, the sandy hills of the Roero had a good autumn in the 2027 guides. Seven Tre Bicchieri, three of Bibenda's 5 Grappoli, four of DoctorWine's 95-point Faccini, two AIS Vitae selections and six Vinibuoni Corone went to wines from this one denomination, and three Roero estates on our site earned Slow Wine's snail. Here is what Roero is, and every award winner we can link you to on the site.

## Roero in two paragraphs

Roero is a single DOCG with two faces. Plain "Roero" is a red from at least 95% Nebbiolo, and "Roero Arneis" (or simply Roero, for the white) is made from at least 95% Arneis; the consorzio notes that in practice both are almost always made from the one grape alone. The rules allow a riserva for each, and a spumante for the white. The red must age at least 20 months (32 for the riserva), with six months in wood either way, while Roero Arneis riserva needs 16 months, all counted from 1 November of the harvest year. The area became a DOC in 1985 and, according to the consorzio, a DOCG in 2005.

The zone covers four whole comuni (Canale, Corneliano d'Alba, Piobesi d'Alba and Vezza d'Alba) and parts of fifteen more, more than 1,200 hectares of vines and over 7.5 million bottles, by the consorzio's count. Canale, with about 370 hectares of vineyard, is the biggest. The soils change across short distances: loose, fossil-rich marine sands under the Rocche, then a more calcareous, clay-rich grey-blue silt in the centre, which the consorzio describes as suited to more structured, longer-lived reds. Labels can add one of eighteen comune names or one of more than 130 named places, such as Valmaggiore, Renesio or San Quirico, all of which turn up below.

## Gambero Rosso: seven Tre Bicchieri

Arneis riserva had a strong showing: three of the seven are aged whites.

## AIS Vitae and Vinibuoni d'Italia

The sommeliers of AIS put two Roero wines in their Vitae lists of 100. Angelo Negro's Sette Anni Riserva 2019 is among the 100 Vini Rivelazione, which makes it the only Roero wine on our site with awards from two 2027 guides, and Malvirà's [Roero S.S. Trinità Riserva 2022](https://ilvinobello.com/wines/malvira-riserva-s-s-trinita) is among the 100 Vini di Territorio.

Vinibuoni d'Italia's Corona went to six Roero wines:

- [Roero Riserva Mompissano 2022](https://ilvinobello.com/wines/cascina-ca-rossa-mompissano), Cascina Ca' Rossa
- [Roero Riserva Renesio 2022](https://ilvinobello.com/wines/malvira-riserva-renesio), Malvirà

## Slow Wine's snails, and where to start

Slow Wine's snail, the Chiocciola, goes to a winery rather than a single bottle. In the 2027 guide it went to three Roero estates on our site: [Alberto Oggero](https://ilvinobello.com/wineries/alberto-oggero) in Santo Stefano Roero, [Giovanni Almondo](https://ilvinobello.com/wineries/giovanni-almondo) in Montà and [Valfaccenda](https://ilvinobello.com/wineries/valfaccenda) in Canale.

Two names come up again and again. Angelo Negro appears in four guides with three different wines, and Malvirà in three guides with three wines, from a young Arneis riserva to two Nebbiolo riserve from its own Renesio and S.S. Trinità vineyards. Monchiero Carbone and Cascina Ca' Rossa each have two awarded wines. To see both sides of the denomination, try a young Arneis, an aged Arneis riserva and a Roero riserva from the lists above. Our [story on Malvirà](https://ilvinobello.com/editorial/malvira-arneis-tarot-cards-and-three-generations-in-canale) explains how one Canale family works both grapes, and [the most awarded Piemonte wines of 2027](https://ilvinobello.com/editorial/the-most-awarded-piemonte-wines-of-2027-27-bottles-the-guides-agree-on) shows how Roero sits next to Barolo and Barbaresco this year.
