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

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.
