It originates from very ancient soils, millions of years old. The soil contributes to make intense, austere, refined and elegant wines, able to age and improve with time.

Vinification: Grapes were destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures for 30 days. Wine aged in steel tanks for 10 months and another 2 months in bottle.

Tasting Notes: Intense straw yellow color, Ostinatamente (Italian word for stubbornly) has a slight amber glow that catch the sunlight brilliantly. It’s a Roero Arneis that necessarily does not need to be drunk while still young. Give it time. The nose is eager, but graceful, with hints of flowers and fruit-reminiscent of a summer’s walk on a country road. The crisp flavors of fresh herbs with subtle hints of flowery fruit is most refreshing. Despite its delicate nature, it is full bodied with a notable persistence and a soft finish. This ‘little rascal’ goes nicely with a light antipasti, fish, as the label hints, simply prepared and Crustaceans, as well as regional asparagus dishes from Alba and medium and well seasoned cheese.
