Roero

Straw-coloured, with floral notes, green apple, melon and an almond undertone. The palate combines ripe pear and citrus over a mineral, stony base, with guava and almond notes on the finish. Made entirely from Arneis, the wine spends six months on its lees. Grapes grow organically on clay-calcareous soils in Roero, and the wine contains thirteen and a half percent alcohol.

Stone fruit and citrus meet a mineral spine in this dry white. Arneis comes from a 0.80-hectare, south-facing sandy vineyard in Vezza d’Alba at about 340 metres. Harvest is manual, followed by brief maceration and fermentation at controlled temperature for two to three weeks. The wine rests in stainless steel until early spring before several months of bottle ageing.
