Roero Arneis

The lone white in the Fenocchio range — and proof that Barolo discipline translates. From 1.5 hectares in Monteu Roero, across the Tanaro river from the Langhe, Claudio Fenocchio crafts a fresh, precise Arneis: gently pressed, cold-settled, and fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve the variety’s delicate florals. The hills here carry serious history — the castle of Monteu Roero hosted Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and his court in the winter of 1158, reputedly on the strength of the local wine.
