Description
To the left side of Tanaro River and from some of the most prestigious soils for the vine, the Arneis grape has represented for centuries a constant presence. The grapes coming from these vineyards produce a golden Roero Arneis that stands out for its fragrance and particular tasting qualities.
Straw yellow with golden highlights, it has an intense nose with clear mineral notes backed by hazelnut, sage and apple, and a luscious flavour with good body and balance.
At its best with aperitifs, hors-d’oeuvres, delicate starters and all baked or fried fish-based dishes.
