ROERO ARNEIS DOCG OCCHETTI
ROERO ARNEIS D.O.C.G. OCCHETTI ®
It comes from vineyards situated on the southwestern slope. It is obtained from the winemaking in white of the Arneis grapes that exactly find in the hill sands of Roero their election area. The Arneis vine-strain has always been cultivated on these hills, but in times past was destined to the local market. Its uniqueness is largely recognized and its tasting refinement is greatly appreciated. The grapes are gathered at the end of September.
