Where \"Sandro\" is Nebbiolo at its most playful, Anime is the same grape that asked a much harder question: what happens when you give it a century of roots and total restraint in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnime — \"soul\" — is Oggero's flagship, and the name isn't decoration. Destemmed fruit ferments in concrete with a submerged cap, then ages slowly across large cask, tonneaux and concrete before release. The result unfolds patiently: wild cherry and dried rose give way to blood orange, anise, crushed stone and forest herbs, layered rather than stacked. On the palate it's powerful yet composed — real depth, vivid acidity, finely sculpted tannins running long through a mineral finish. This is a wine built to prove Roero belongs in the same conversation as Barolo and Barbaresco, and it makes its case slowly, over decades if you let it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE FOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBraised beef, white truffle pasta, aged Piemonte cheeses, wild mushroom risotto. Open well ahead of time, or better, cellar it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINEMAKER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlberto Oggero farms a little over four hectares in Santo Stefano Roero, all organic, all spontaneous fermentation, nothing filtered or fined. Anime is where his philosophy is least compromised — one ancient vineyard, minimal intervention, and total trust in what a century of Roero sand can produce. It's the wine that's quietly repositioning him as one of the appellation's most serious names, not just its most promising young one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alberto Oggero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57493192606071,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Oggero-roero-anime_c9ed7b4e-1343-4d67-a5d6-adc6cac5c41e.jpg?v=1790369021","url":"https:\/\/shop.passionevino.co.uk\/products\/oggero-roero-anime-2023","provider":"Passione Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
