The Roero Arneis DOCG from the Cornarea winery is a prestigious example of how a native grape variety can best express itself thanks to the passion and dedication of a winery that strongly believes in the potential of its territory. This white wine, produced exclusively with Arneis grapes, presents itself with a brilliant straw-yellow color that foreshadows the olfactory and gustative complexity of the beverage.
On the nose, Cornarea's Roero Arneis unfolds a delicate and captivating bouquet characterized by floral notes of acacia and chamomile, enriched by hints of fresh fruit such as pear and peach. Light accents of almond and aromatic herbs add complexity and invite the taster to take a sip.
In the mouth, elegance is the keyword. Freshness is well-balanced by a medium-bodied structure, which makes its presence felt without overwhelming. The acidity is lively and well-integrated, leading to a persistent and clean finish, with a pleasant return of the fruity and floral notes perceived on the nose.
Expert winemakers, the producers of Cornarea cultivate Arneis grapes on sandy and mineral-rich soils in the heart of Roero, allowing the wine to acquire those subtle mineral characteristics that make it unmistakable. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, thus preserving all the fresh and genuine aromatic qualities of the grape.
The Roero Arneis DOCG Cornarea pairs beautifully with light fish dishes, seafood, delicate appetizers, and vegetable-based dishes. It is also an excellent aperitif, capable of pleasantly opening a dinner or a convivial gathering. Perfect for those who love white wines with character that tell the story and terroir from which they originate.

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.
