Negro Lorenzo Roero Arneis

The best versions of this wine come from the sandy soils of the Roero, which give a gorgeous minerality to this wine that you won’t find elsewhere. Lorenzo’s Arneis is therefore a true expression of terroir. White flowers, chamomile, pear and apricot. Well balanced, medium bodied wine. One thing worth noting is that Lorenzo releases his Arneis almost a year after his fellow producers as he believes this wine benefits from time in the cellar. This selection comes from various Arneis grapes of the the Serra Lupini hill in Sant’Anna of Monteu Roero. Grown on soils of marine origin and trained Guyot style, these vines undergo a classical summer green pruning. Grapes are harvested manually in mid September in small boxes and pressed softly; the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature in stainless steel containers to preserve all aromas. After fermentation, the wine rests throughout the winter on its yeasts, it is bottled in spring and ripens some months in the bottle. Colour: limpid and bright yellow Nose: elegant and broad flavours; flowery notes of camomile and fruity golden apple, apricot and pear Mouth: fresh and mineral with a good balance between acidity and alcohol and a pleasant almond aftertaste.
