Arneis Langhe DOC
Arneis is a vine variety originating from the Roero area. Its qualities have been re-evaluated in the past 50 years and as of today it is the most important dry white wine in the Langhe area.
Its characteristic bouquet shall amaze the drinker with notes of fruits like green apple, white peach and flowers.
Among the Langhe cultivars, Arneis is the least suitable for fining and owes its best features to its youth and freshness.
None of our company’s white cultivars are harvested in advance, so as to obtain riper grapes and thus a less acid wine.
