Michele Chiarlo Le Madri Roero Arneis 2024
A refreshing wine from the finest hillside vineyards in Roero, delivering notes of peach, tropical fruits and acacia flower. Elegant and silky on the palate with a balanced and a dry, savoury finish.
The Arneis grapes are grown on the finest hillside vineyards in Roero, Piedmont. The small hillside plot is situated on south facing hillside on the left bank of the Tanaro River, directly across from the Barbaresco zone on the river's right bank. Arneis is a delicate variety that is now enjoying something of a revival having been rescued from the verge of extinction. The vines thrive in the calcareous marl and sandy soils with traces of clay, that are found in this carefully selected plot.
Fermentation took place with natural yeasts in small temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 16 to 18°C preserving the aromatic and perfumed characteristics of this variety. The wine was refined in tank for a further three months on the lees, which imparted texture and complexity to the wine, prior to being bottled.
