Roero Arneis Docg
The origin of this wine’s name would seem to derive either from the dialect word for a person with a mischievous, bad-tempered or even dissolute character, or from the 15th-century name of the hill (‘Bric Renesio’, or ‘renexij’) situated behind the town of Canale, where the vine was cultivated at the time.
Thanks to the soil of these hills – a soft and permeable terrain with sandy layers alternating with marl – Arneis wine acquires a bouquet of fine and elegant white flowers with fruity notes including apple, peach and hazel. Of a brilliant hay yellow with light green highlights, it is dry and slightly acidic on the palate.
There is also a ‘passita’ (aged) version with lovely perfumes of honey and dried fruits, which is an ideal wine to accompany desserts.
