Collection: Arneis
Arneis means "rascal" in Italian, and is so named for its ability to beguile the most patient winemakers. It's a delicate white wine grape that originated (and is still primarily grown) in the Roero hills of Italy's southern Piedmont. It thrives in the chalky and sandy soil of this region. Once nearly extinct, Arneis has made a comeback in recent years. The Arneis de Roero wines received DOC status in 1989 and DOCG in 2006 and production is on the rise, as consumers have come to appreciate its its distinctive herbal and tangerine aromas. It can produce very good wines with lovely notes of apples, pears, nashi pears, celeriac and sometimes a hint of liquorice.

A fresh, broad bouquet, rich with hints of flowers, green apple and delicate notes of sage. In the mouth it is fresh, with an almond finish. A great aperitif or light pasta dishes, risotto, and fish in general. Vegetarian and vegan friendly.
Roero is characterized by the “rocche”, steep reliefs that cut the territory dividing the continental soils, based on river gravels and clays, from those of marine origin, where vines find their ideal conditions. The indigenous Arneis variety produces a dry, delicate white wine with excellent drinkability. Manual harvest in mid-September, when ripening has reached the optimum point. Vinification in stainless steel for 4-5 months at low temperature. After cold stabilization, the wine is bottled in late spring.
ABV: 12.5%
