Altre Vie Anfora Arneis Roero 2023

Arneis is an ancient grape hailing from the Roero hills of Italy's Piemonte region. It translates to "the little rascal" since it has a reputation for being a difficult grape to grow - one that will first test the grower's patience and then the winemaker's. For some time, growers in the region planted Arneis solely surrounding the Nebbiolo vines to divert plant predators. The intense and attractive aromas lured birds and insects to the Arneis, protecting the Nebbiolo from being eaten. When all goes according to plan for the grower and vintner, the white wines made from the Arneis grape are dry yet refreshing and full-bodied with notes of pears, apricots, and toasted almonds.
