Roero Arneis "San Michele" 2023 Deltetto

Roero Arneis San Michele is a journey through time and the history of the Deltetto family, which began in 1977 when young Antonio, inspired by his father Carlo, began to produce his first 933 bottles. From the very beginning, the Deltetto family has devoted itself with love and dedication to the cultivation of Arneis. The result is a fragrant and harmonious wine, pleasantly fruity, crisp on the palate and with the right fullness of mouthfeel, a label that does not fear ageing, if properly stored, it will be possible to uncork it even in a few years! The grapes make the most of the unique potential of the sandy and marly soil that characterises this area of marine origin, which has made Arneis a real benchmark for the Roero. To be more precise, the vineyard is located on the hills of San Michele, from which the wine takes its name, not far from the family's winery, and it keeps the secret of an extraordinary wine, a faithful interpreter of the territory. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, and in the cellar the winery's approach is to search for finesse and the authentic expression of the grape variety. The vinification process begins with the destemming and crushing of the grapes, followed by soft pressing; the must obtained is fermented partly in cement vats at a temperature of 16°C and partly in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is aged in steel tanks and French oak barrels for about 6 months. Further bottle ageing follows before release. The Arneis San Michele from the Deltetto family has a deep straw-yellow colour in the glass, with aromas of exotic fruits in harmony with vibrant apple notes, accompanied by sweet vanilla aromas from the wood. The sip is full and round, with a fine structure, elegance and personality, with a persistent finish. These characteristics make Arneis a versatile companion, ideal as an aperitif, elegant with hors d'oeuvres and first courses, and the star of any table.
