## 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.
