Le Madri Roero Arneis DOCG 2022
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 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.
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.
