Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Arneis DOC

An Arneis from Piedmont, just as it should be: aromatically precise, with the typical tension between ripe fruit and fresh acidity.

Cordero di Montezemolo is a traditional winery from Annunziata di La Morra in the heart of the Langhe region. The Cordero di Montezemolo family has cultivated their vineyards for generations and is primarily known for Barolo—but this Arneis also demonstrates the meticulous care taken in their winemaking. The Arneis grape variety, once almost forgotten, has experienced a renaissance in the Langhe and is now considered an elegant alternative to heavy white wines.

In the glass, the wine displays a pale yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose offers aromas of pear and white peach, complemented by floral notes of acacia blossom and a hint of almond—typical of the grape variety. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with lively, yet not aggressive acidity and a pleasantly dry, bitter almond finish.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Best enjoyed young, within the next two to three years. Pairs well with grilled sea bass, vitello tonnato, light pasta dishes with ricotta, or a plate of antipasti with prosciutto and melon.
