Tasting Notes

Straw yellow colour with gold and green reflections. On the nose, the floral bouquet is intense, with notes of white flowers and dandelion. On tasting the floral notes are accompanied with ripe peach, apple and a hint of melon. Delicate and harmonious with a long and refreshing finish.

Food Matches

Drink on its own as an aperitif, or with light vegetarian starters, fish or sushi.

Vinification

This Arneis comes from Rodello with an altitude of 480 metres above sea level - the vineyard is made up exclusively of this indigenous grape. The terrain is hilly and enjoys south-east exposure and the soil is a medium texture, tending towards loamy-clay but is fertile and loose. The vinification involves a soft pressing of the grapes and cold soaking of the must for 24 hours. Fermentation happens at a controlled temperature of 18-20 C° for a duration of 30 days followed by a rest on lees for approximately ninety days. The wine is then aged in bottle for at least two months.
