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.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
