Bright straw color; intense bouquet of peach and acacia flowers, chamomile, melon and yellow flowers. Inviting and fresh with a typical note of a slightly bitter finish.
Splendid accompaniment for antipasti and springtime first courses including omelets with wild herbs, savory pies, vegetable soups, stuffed squash blossoms, freshwater seafood and “vitello tonnato” (veal cutlets with tuna sauce). Excellent as an aperitivo.
100% Arneis. Production zone: Langhe, vineyards in the municipalities of La Morra, Guarene, Govone.
The historical single-body vineyard area of 28 hectares (69 acres), rare for the area, extends over all sides of the hill. The land has always been cultivated with the various local varieties, selected and distinctly planted according to sun exposure, type of soil and the altitude.Vinification: De-stemmed and pressed. Followed by static clarification or must flotation. Drawn off and fermented at a temperature between 13-15°C for about one month in stainless steel. Left on the lees for about three months, racked and allowed to clarify naturally in stainless steel. Kept for at least two months in the bottle before market release.

Cordero di Montezemolo does a terrific job with this white wine that offers so much freshness, ease and simple drinking joy. I especially recommend the 2021 Langhe Arneis now that the warm season is upon us. It releases fragrant citrus and bergamot with almond blossom and crushed stone. It has all its cards in place for a fish dinner by the sea.
