F.lli Moscone Roero Arneis

Roero Arneis from the family's west-facing sandy vineyards at Monticello d'Alba, fermented and aged in steel for a dry, almondy finish.

Tasting notes

Colour: straw yellow with greenish reflections. Nose: white flowers and chamomile, with pear, honey and almond. Palate: fresh, mineral, savoury and harmonious, with a hint of herbs and a pleasantly dry, almondy finish.

Pairs well with

Particularly good with the sweetness of shellfish, seafood risotto, vegetable soups and creams; also excellent with fatty cheeses and spicy oriental dishes seasoned with soy sauce. Piedmontese pairing: bagnetto verde, peppers in bagna cauda.
