Mauro Sebaste Arneis

Roero Arneis from two vineyards, one on sandy soil in Piobesi d'Alba for minerality and one on marly soil north of the Roero for structure, vinified separately and blended. 13-13.5% alcohol.

Tasting notes

Soft straw yellow with green highlights. Delicate, fresh and herbaceous, rich in white flowers and fruity hints of pear. Round and harmonic with a delicately bitter aftertaste.

Pairs well with
