WINE OVERVIEW
The Roero is Arneis' ancestral home, and like so many other great producers in Barolo and Barbaresco, Giacosa reaches across the Tanaro River for the very best fruit. Arneis went from being nearly extinct in the 1970s to Piedmont's flagship white in more recent decades.
Tasting Notes
Dry, velvety and full-bodied on the palate. Expressive notes of flowers, white peach and mint. Recommended to drink young.
Food Pairing
Perfect as an aperitif or with seafood and shellfish.
