Roero Arneis

Roero sits across the Tanaro River from Barolo and Barbaresco, and Piemonte is not only Nebbiolo. Luca and Carolina at Valfaccenda work with local grapes, including Arneis, one of the white grapes that belongs to this area. This bottle is a good reminder that Piemonte can also speak in white.
 
Arneis is gently aromatic, with floral notes, freshness and a salty mineral edge. Pair it with pasta dishes or white meat, especially when you want a white with a bit more shape.
