Roero Arneis DOC Langhe Arneis DOC



Grape: this ancient indigenous vine has been saved from extinction and
attentively cultivated in the whereabouts of Alba (special care was
taken precisely because of its somewhat whimsical nature - hence the
name arneis, which in the region is also used for capricious
children!), blossoming in recent years as the source of Alba’s leading
white

Areas: the Langhe hills and the Roero territory within them (i.e. the
opposite banks of the Tanaro river from Barolo and Barbaresco)

Color: straw yellow; the Roero appellation shows slight amber hues

Nose: elegant and intense; the Roero DOC and the best Langhe DOCs
exhibit an appealing nutty, herbal perfume

Palate: dry, more delicate and fresher from Langhe, with herbal, nutty
and pleasingly bitterish nuances from Roero

Aged before release: aging not required

Cellar life: best enjoyed in youth

Food pairings: antipasto, rice salads, lingua in gelatina, fish-based
dishes, eggs, unseasoned cheeses
