Le Madri Roero Arneis DOCG 2023
Trade Tools
Italy / Piedmont
The Arneis grapes for Le Madri come from Roero, a small hillside area on the left bank of the Tanaro River, directly across from the Barbaresco zone on the right bank. The soil is rich in calcareous marl and sand with traces of clay, with very good drainage. Fruit is hand harvested and soft pressed, then undergoes controlled temperature fermentation to maintain the aromas. The wine spends three months on fine lees within stainless steel vats.
Harvest Note
The 2023 vintage began with a mild and dry winter followed by an equally dry spring. Rain fell in mid-May and June, which was a great help ahead of a long, hot, and dry summer. Significant rain at the end of August was essential to the proper ripening of the grapes. In the areas of Langhe, Roero and Gavi that had more rain (than Asti), the vintage resulted in normal quantity levels with an exceptionally good quality.
Tasting Note
Intense straw yellow with brilliant green hues, this white wine presents notes of peach, tropical fruits, and acacia flower with an enjoyable savory finish.
