Monchiero Carbone Roero Arneis Cecu DOCG, 2020

The hills of Roero are just across the river from Barolo, and Arneis is often known as the "white Nebbiolo" because of the remarkable similarities in size and shape of the berries. Paired with shrimp pesto pasta tonight, it is a special wine.

Beautiful bright straw. Aromas are fresh, lively and lovely. White currants, mint, sage and flowers. Fresh, ripe fruit on entry developing depth and interest as it glides down the tongue. Picks up notes of roasted nuts and grain. Good body as well as acidity. Long after taste.
