Roero is not only the country where the best piedmontese red wines come from, but also the one that gives us prestigious whites like the Roero Arneis 2013 d.o.c.g., from Fabrizio Battaglino.
Arneis is a white grape variety grown in Piedmont since the 15th Century which has to be served at a temperature of 8-10 degrees to enhance and make acidity and sapidity more pleasant, both very important components in white wines.
It is a pale yellow wine with amber shadows. It has a very delicate perfume full of fruity apple and peach hints and a grassy-flowery ending that reminds us the camomile.
The taste is fine and fresh, well balanced, fruity and quite warm for being a white (13 degrees).
It is a still wine, to be consumed when young. It’s really good if combined with aperitifs and appetizers as omelettes, salty pies, grilled vegetables, chicken-celery salad, pumpkin souffle etc..or with risottos or fresh pasta with seafood sauce.
You can also try it with raw ham and parmesan‘s slices; I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

Joe, torinese D.o.c., annata 1981, si appassiona fin da giovanissima
alle gioie del palato scoprendo, grazie ai nonni, il buon vino e la cucina della sua terra.
Amante della buona compagnia, preferisce coltivare ed intrattenere i suoi affetti intorno ad una tavola sostanziosa, che sia quella della piola o dell'osteria più raffinata oppure, meglio ancora, se di casa propria.
Si diletta volentieri in cucina, sperimentando sempre nuovi e originali accostamenti enogastronomici.
Nel 2006, data la profonda passione per la Vitis Vinifera e la sua linfa, decide di diventare un Sommelier presso l'Associazione
F.i.s.a.r., in parole povere, beve e studia per quasi due anni fino al conseguimento del diploma finale, ottenuto fieramente in seguito a lunghe ed estenuanti degustazioni.

Joe is from Turin, Italy. She started loving good wine and food since she was very young, discovering the joys of the palate, thanks to her grandparents.
She has always liked entertaining friends and her loved ones around a well stocked table, full of delicious dishes.
She is pretty happy in the kitchen as she likes trying new and original eno-gastonomical pairings.
In 2006, due to her deep love for wines, she became a Sommelier (wine taster) with the "F.i.s.a.r". association.
In short, she studied hard and drank wines for two years in a row until she got the final diploma, obtained after long and exhausting tastings.
