Cantina Sant'Evasio Rugiada

A characterful Langhe Arneis grown on calcareous marl, named 'Rugiada' (dew).

Tasting notes

Yellow with greenish highlights, clear and bright. Distinctive, strong, intense, persistent bouquet with notes of honey and camomile. Full, long, soft, harmonious palate.

Pairs well with

Good for aperitivo, and thanks to its good alcohol content also for white or lightly elaborate red meats, such as cold roast veal, chicken salad, chargrilled chicken breast, and fish dishes such as Livorno-style red mullet or stuffed octopus, as well as savoury vegetable dishes like rice-stuffed peppers.
