Arneis is the best-known indigenous white grape variety of the Langhe and Roero regions, and was therefore a must-have for Paolo Picollo. The grapes come from two small vineyards in different locations, on soil composed of limestone and loam. They are hand-picked around mid-September. Paolo works in the traditional way, handling the grapes as gently and quickly as possible to preserve their delicate aromas.
After gentle pressing, the clear juice ferments for 20 to 30 days at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, with the yeast cells being stirred regularly. The wine then matures on its fine lees until spring. In the glass, it is pale yellow. The nose initially reveals citrus and graphite, followed by peach and hawthorn blossom. On the palate, the lovely balance between fresh acidity and juiciness is striking.
A refreshing white wine to enjoy in good company, which, according to Paolo, also ages beautifully. It pairs well with aperitifs, starters, light pasta dishes, fish, vegetables and fresh cheese. Serve at 10–12°C. The wine is crafted using traditional methods with as few preservatives as possible, so store the bottle lying down and in a cool place, between 6 and 18°C.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
