Roero Arneis
By Alberto Oggero, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A Roero Arneis DOCG blended from a south-facing and a south-east-facing plot, hand-harvested in early September and aged in concrete until release 8 months after harvest.
Tasting notes
Our idea of Arneis: juicy and savory, a direct expression of the land it is born from. Crafted so it never hides its character, expressing it instead with versatility and immediacy. Designed for the everyday table and to accompany the whole meal.
