Vinory Roero Arneis

Arneis from selected vineyards in Priocca, on calcareous-clayey soil, fermented slowly in steel and kept on fine lees until March bottling.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow. Intense nose of delicate citrus, acacia flower and grapefruit. Dry, medium-bodied with fresh acidity; well balanced, elegant, with good complexity and persistence.
