Roero Arneis, DOCG
SanMatteo
The winery is at an elevation of almost 1,000 feet, located in the small town of Cisterna D’Asti. Grapes have been growing in the vineyards of Cantine Sanmatteo since the first vine was planted in 1837.
The Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true. The winery is certified as a sustainable winery by Equalitas.
This wine, made from 100% Arneis, is medium bodied and dry, with an intense and fresh aroma with hints of honeysuckle. The crisp acidity is accompanied by flavors of green apple, apricot, and pineapple, with a hint of almond on the finish.
