I Rairì
By Tonino Marchisio, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A selection from the oldest Arneis vines, given longer ageing on the lees and partly in tonneaux. Produced in a numbered run of 2,666 bottles; the producer gives it a lifespan of 3-5 years.
Tasting notes
Deep straw yellow with slightly golden reflections. Dried exotic fruit with hints of almond and brioche. Full and complex on the palate, with a slightly bitter aftertaste and an almond finish.
Pairs well with
Food wine for dishes of medium intensity: meat, fish and medium-aged cheeses.
