Tasting Notes

Arneis is a dry white wine that is native to Piemonte, especially in the small but well renowned area called Roero. The sandy soil and the particular microclimate of the area on the left bank of the Tanaro river give this wine intense mineral and fruity notes. On the palate it is fresh and warm, persistent, strenghthened by a fair acidity. It goes very well with seafood and hors-d’oeuvres.
