White
Valle dei Lunghi
By Alberto Oggero, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A white wine from old Arneis vines scattered among the Nebbiolo rows, macerated on the skins for 10 days and aged in cement, released 12-14 months after harvest.
Tasting notes
Our most creative side: a white wine that surprises and fascinates, a gastronomic wine that tells the story of the richness of ancient Arneis vines and the estate's freedom to interpret them. Deeply tied to the sandy nature of the soil, with a bouquet of aromas and flavors that opens up in the glass.
