ROERO ARNEIS DOC
The Roero area stretches out to the left of the Tanaro River with a collection of 19 villages, similar to the Langhe zone. The terrain here is difficult, rugged, and steep affording excellent viticultural advantages such as large diurnal temperature variation as well as good drainage and wind. The village of Roero is tucked into the valley with high sloping vineyards with a South to Southwest exposure. It is here that Musso’s vineyards lie at the crest of the hill at an altitude of over 350 meters above sea level.
This is a classic Arneis with clean and vibrant minerality, ripe acidity and zaftig fruit components that contribute to the overall crisp and lush balance on the palate.
