White
Langhe Arneis
By Olivero Mario, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's first white, from Roddi and Rodello and aged only in steel. Best enjoyed young and chilled but not cold.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with golden reflections. Fresh pear and grapefruit, giving way to yellow peach and honey with time. Rich and fruity in the mouth, with a marked savouriness and mineral nuances.
