Le Madri Roero Arneis 2022

The 2022 vintage was a challenging one. Overall it was warm and dry, with high temperatures and a long summer with scarce rain. The water shortage was so severe that the Regione Piemonte issued a waiver to allow vineyard irrigation. Harvest was an early one, with grapes that revealed excellent qualities.

Less known than its neighbors Barolo and Barbaresco, the Roero appellation is distinguished by a sandier soil rich in marine deposits. It is also the home of Arneis, an original grape variety which almost disappeared but which is enjoying a comeback.

In this vintage, everything is there: aromatic power, liveliness, as well as a savory touch of saline minerality and a hint of white pepper.

Happiness in the company of seafood pasta.
