Marcarini Roero Arneis DOCG 2022/23

When it comes to Piedmont white wine, centuries-old Arneis is a signature grape. The name translates as ‘little rascal’ in local dialect – seemingly named because it’s tricky to grow – and perhaps the reason it almost became extinct. That hasn’t stopped the Marchetti family from carrying on the tradition. Sixth-generation winemaker Elisa Marchetti makes this one in Roero from vineyards 300 metres above sea level. The high altitude and a tank fermentation method helps to preserve the grapes’ natural fruity flavour and freshness. Expect fresh peach and floral aromas. A note of crisp green apple will pair brilliantly with roast pork.
