Arneis

Arneis is the ace up the sleeve of the Roero, a Piedmontese territory morphologically similar to the Langhe but situated along the left bank of the Tanaro. Here, where Nebbiolo has not been as lucky, the identifying wine has become a white: Arneis. Straw-coloured and with splendid mineral, citrus, yellow fruit and elegantly vegetal fragrances, arneis is of precious freshness, always accompanied by an enveloping aromaticity. The best crus do not disdain refinement on lees or, in some cases, in wood, with significant enrichment of the complexity of an already intriguing product. It is also good as a passito wine.
