ROERO ARNEIS D.O.C.G. “MONTEMERVIGLIA”

FIRST VINTAGE: 1996

For us, Roero Arneis is the most representative white wine, with a production area of about 8 hectares. Produced for over 20 vintages, Arneis is still made with the same vinification as the first vintage: soft pressing, fermentation, and vinification only in controlled temperature stainless steel tanks. The intense aromas of this wine are the result of constant commitment in the vineyard, but above all, in the cellar during vinification. After fermentation, Arneis is left on the lees for 4-5 months with periodic batonnage.
