Roero Arneis DOCG
Arneis
50% from the steep and sandy Sanche cru, 50% from a friend's vineyard closer to Alba with a little less sand. A short 3 day skin contact and then fermented in wood without temperature control and aged in barrels for 5 months on lees. A compact, dense and phenolic white that unfolds into a pear and citrus blossom bouquet with air. The sand and limestone make their presence felt with the chalky, lemon curd texture. Lots of flavour and personality, certainly age-worthy. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
