White
Vigne Sparse
By Giovanni Almondo, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's purest expression of Arneis, blended from several vineyards across the sandy, high-elevation Montà d'Alba area and raised only in steel. Certified organic (IT-BIO-015, Agricoltura Italia).
Tasting notes
Pear, apple and acacia honey, with citrus and green hints; a lingering fruity aroma and a slightly savoury finish.
