100% Arneis

Paitin, a historic winery in Piedmont, Italy, produces the "Elisa" Arneis from their vineyard in Varinere di Priocca, Roero. This vineyard, planted in 1980, is named in honor of Elisa Elia, a pivotal figure who managed the winery during World War II. The grapes are organically farmed, hand-harvested, and undergo gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and maceration for a couple of days. The wine then rests on the lees for six months to enhance its complexity.
TASTING NOTES: This Arneis presents enticing aromas of apricot, grapefruit, wild herbs, and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it is vibrant and nuanced, with a dry, clean finish and a subtle hint of white pepper.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs excellently with light seafood dishes, white meats, or creamy risottos.
