Mosaico di Sole

Roero Arneis D.O.C.G

DISCOVER

This is Piedmont’s great white varietal, made from a very rare vine - Arneis – which is grown to the left of the River Tanaro. Here the sandy soil of the hills of the Roero give it intense, rich aromas, while the limestone and clay provide structure and substance.
MOSAICO DI SOLE is widely appreciated for its elegance, which starts out in its straw yellow colour, continues through a nose of flowers and fresh fruit, and is brought to a consummate conclusion in the mouth, round and appealing, with a delicately bitterish aftertaste that cleans the palate in an invitation to have another taste.

100% Arneis
Soil:
sandy-clayey
Colour:
intense straw yellow with greenish nuances
Nose:
delicate, fruity, fresh and slightly grassy

dry, with good acidity and structure (for a white), luscious and lingering
