White
San Pietro
By Stefanino Morra, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
San Pietro is Morra's cru bottling of Roero Arneis, from the well-exposed San Pietro vineyard just outside Castellinaldo, aged some months in large wood for extra richness and structure.
Tasting notes
Rich in fruity and floral aromas, round and crisp on the palate with a long, persistent finish. Compared to the classic Arneis, San Pietro shows more spice and evolved, mature notes, fuller-bodied, more structured and soft on the palate.
Pairs well with
Fish and white meats.
