This beautiful wine comes from the heart of the Roera region (Piedmont / Barbaresco). The Arneis vineyards are located in the municipality of Vezza d'Alba at an altitude of 250 with a southwestern location. The bottom is calcareous, which is beautifully reflected in the wine. The vineyard was planted in 1999 with a very low planting density. Montaribaldi makes Vineyard wines as they say and means that the wine must be 'made' in the vineyard and not with all sorts of tricks in the winery
The Arneis was a forgotten grape that yields beautiful white in Montaribaldi's hands. In recent years, Arneis white wines from Piedmonte have rightly become very popular because they produce beautiful elegant white wines. The grapes for this delicious Roero Arneis are transported in small baskets of 20 kilos. The Arneis grapes must be harvested in the second half of September. Once in the winery, grapes are destroyed, crushed and cooled (temperature of 10-13 ° C). The peels and musts are separated by means of a very light pressing (soft crush). The must is then allowed to rest for a few days in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks (13 ° C) to separate the cloudy substance. The clear must goes through the alcoholic fermentation at a temperature of 15-18 ° C. Alcoholic fermentation takes about ten days. Once this process is complete, the wine remains in contact with its reading for approximately 6 months. This whole process makes the wine very complex
In the glass, this Roero Arneis Capural has an intense straw yellow color with an intense nose with floral notes. In the mouth the wine is full, velvety soft and has a very nice long finish, especially for a white wine. This aromatic, rich, full-bodied white wine is suitable for fish but, given its complexity, it is also great with pasta or as an aperitif. Our advice is not to drink this beautiful white wine too cold. We like to drink these at 12 degrees and at Montaribaldi they even recommend 14 degrees
