The Piedmontese producer and enologist takes over from Massimo Damonte, who had been leading the Piedmontese protection body since 2023. “This is truly an incredible emotion,” writes the new president, head of the Nino Costa winery in Montà (Cuneo).

WHO IS ALESSANDRO COSTA, NEW PRESIDENT OF THE CONSORZIO TUTELA ROERO
A graduate of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Turin after studying Enology, Alessandro Costa gained professional experience and undertook educational trips, primarily in France and the United States. He grew up in the family business, among vineyards, orchards, and the cellar, following first his grandfather and then his father, Nino.
Between 2006 and 2007, after completing his university studies, he began working alongside his father in managing the ten-hectare estate and in the production of Arneis, Barbera, and Nebbiolo wines. In 2009, he took over the management of the winery, intervening in the production organization, processes, aging, and corporate image.
THE HANDOVER AT THE CONSORZIO ROERO
Alessandro Costa succeeds Massimo Damonte, a wine entrepreneur from Canale elected president in July 2023. Damonte had, in turn, taken over from Francesco Monchiero, who had led the Consortium for three consecutive terms.
“Being the new president of the Roero Consortium,” said the new president of the Consorzio Tutela Roero, “is a role of great responsibility. I will try to do my best for this great region.” The message ends with a call to identity: “Long live Roero!”
The Consorzio Tutela Roero represents the producers and winegrowers of the Piedmontese denomination, primarily linked to Nebbiolo for Roero red and Arneis for Roero Arneis. According to data published by the body, there are over 250 members, with more than 1,250 hectares of vineyards and a total production of approximately 8 million bottles.
