Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
Bright straw yellow with beautiful golden reflections. Aromas of peach, mango, melon, pineapple and lime, followed by gorgeous floral, chamomile and honey scent. Rich and round in the mouth, off dry, with persistent fruit power and a tart mineral layer. Full-bodied but not heavy. A very drinkable Langhe Arneis.
