Brovia Roero Arneis 2017

Piedmont, ItalyThe arneis is the only white wine made at Brovia, but it takes a back seat to no one. It is produced in the Roero district from a sandy, .80 hectare block in Vezza d’Alba that was planted 40 years ago. The fruit is handpicked before undergoing a short 18 to 21-day maceration and fermentation in stainless steel, where it remains until the spring and then is kept in a bottle until the fall. The wine is delicious, from its green apple and almond bouquet to its mineral, wet stone, citrus notes and creamy textures. It finishes with a hint of spice and salt. Impressive and perfect for serving with shellfish or a favourite vegetarian casserole.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
