Roero is part of Langhe and is located on the northern part of this wine region. North of Tanaro river. Both red and white wines made in Roero are fragrant and elegant – mainly because of the higher content of clay and sand in the soil. Marine fossils are frequently found in the vineyards. For millions of years this land was covered by the Mediterranean Sea, until tectonic movements led to formation of the hills of Roero in the Pliocene Epoch, three million years ago.
Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Ageing on fine less for several months with weekly lees stirring. Aged in steel tanks for several months. Longevity until 8 to 10 years once bottle.
Straw yellow color, with greenish highlights. The nose releases notes of white-fleshed stone fruit such as peach, and floral notes, that bring meadow flowers and chamomile to mind. Ageing brings out flint and hydrocarbon notes. On the palate, Arneis is full-bodied, persistent and tasty, with balanced acidity and an intense, lengthy finish recalling saffron. Excellent as an aperitif, the wine pairs well with fish, shellfish dished, and white meat.
