Technical notes

Arneis is a piemontese grape variety originated from Roero. The color is straw yellow with greenish shades. This wine is produced and aged in stainless steel tanks and it is fresh and easy-drinking. Its floral bouquet makes it delicate and pleasant. In the nose we can find scents of white and yellow flowers and some notes of fresh fruits such as peach, melon and papaya. In the mouth, the intense sapidity typical of the grape variety underlines its minerality

Culinary combinations

Excellent as an aperitif and with fish starters, grain and vegetable soups and main courses of fish. To try also with fresh cheese
