Let’s talk about Roero Arneis DOCG - 375ml - Cornarea

More questions

A wine produced from grapes of Arneis vines, the only native white berried variety present in the Roero area since the 1400s. Cornarea was the first company to invest in the recovery of this vine which almost disappeared in the early 1970s due to the difficulty of vinify this type of white grape without suitable technologies (the name Arneis in Piedmontese dialect actually means "naughty child"). Today Arneis represents the well-deserved redemption of the Roero wine area.

It has a straw yellow colour. The nose perceives an intense aroma of white flowers, pear, peach, pineapple and passion fruit. The taste is in perfect harmony with the nose but the sensations are amplified, its large structure makes it harmonious and full. The great intensity of the Arneis body is definitely recognizable as well as its persistence, which make it unique. The finish is sapid and mineral, thanks to the presence of magnesium in large quantities in the soil of the Cornarea hill.

An extremely elegant wine, perfect as an aperitif but which goes perfectly with light and delicate dishes such as seafood or vegetable appetizers, dishes based on shellfish and fish in general.

The story
The winery's history is tied to the hill called Cornarea: the family bought the hill in the 1970s with the aim of replanting Arneis, the indigenous Roero grape variety that was almost lost at the time. The business has remained family-run over the years; family members today handle winemaking, commercial management and hospitality. A passito wine, Tarasco, also originated on the hill by chance from berries that had been left to dry, and was incorporated into the estate's production.
Production philosophy
Preserve the expressive character of the terroir through controlled, gentle winemaking practices, highlighting the native varieties of Roero and maintaining a strong link between vineyard and bottle.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on the Cornarea hill in the municipality of Canale, in the hilly Roero area. The soils are predominantly sand and clay with a notable presence of magnesium; the average altitude of the vineyards is around 280 m above sea level. The main exposures are east, southeast, northeast and west.
Awards and recognition
The Roero Arneis was listed in Gambero Rosso's Berebene 2021 guide in the Quality/Price Awards section.
