Fabrizio Battaglino Riserva Bastia

Barrique-aged Riserva version of Roero Arneis from the Bastia vineyard, 100% Arneis on calcareous, sandy soil.

Tasting notes

Very intense and persistent bouquet of aromatic herbs such as sage, thyme, rosemary and eucalyptus, with a final note of chamomile. Savoury on the palate, well structured and harmonious.

Pairs well with

Pasta and risotto first courses, white meats and seafood dishes.
