## Summary

A single-parcel Arneis from a steep, clay-and-limestone plot of the Bricco delle Ciliegie hill, separated from the estate's other Arneis for its exceptional mineral depth and ageing potential.

## Tasting notes

Lemon, citron and yellow peach, then white pepper and sage, with hints of stone and resin; dry, very long and deeply savoury, almost salty on the palate.
