Roero Arneis DOCG, I Moncalvi (75cl)

Roero Arneis is a refined white wine from the Roero DOCG appellation in Piedmont. Made exclusively from the native Arneis grape variety, this wine is known for its delicate floral aromatics, crisp acidity, and mineral-laced elegance. Often referred to as “the other white of Piedmont,” Roero Arneis offers a unique alternative to the region’s more famous Cortese-based Gavi.

Aromatically expressive, Roero Arneis entices with notes of white flowers, ripe pear, peach, and subtle hints of citrus. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious combination of richness and freshness, medium to full-bodied with a vibrant acidity and a refined, mineral-driven finish.

Perfectly suited for food pairing, Roero Arneis complements a wide range of dishes, from light seafood and vegetable-based starters to creamy risottos, poultry, and delicate white meats. Its freshness and finesse make it a standout choice for both casual dining and elegant occasions.
