Among the beautiful Langhe hills, the Gabutti Wine Farm of Serralunga d’Alba (Cuneo), not only vinifies the most important red wines from Piedmont (such as Dolcetto, Barolo and Barbera), but it also has an excellent production of Roero Arneis.
This fine white wine, originating in the Roero area and formerly known as “white Nebbiolo”, is produced with Arneis grapes in purity.
The Roero Arneis Grappoli 2010, which I suggest you, is perfect as an aperitif wine, because of its fragrance and freshness.
Aged in steel barrels for the first two/three months, it has to be consumed young or within two years from its production and be served at the right temperature (8-10 degrees) to taste fully its properties.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow in colour with golden shades, it has a fresh and very aromatic fruity parfume (pineapple and green apple) and flowers (jasmine) with almonds hints.
The taste is delicate, dry and well balanced in its acidity and sapidity level. It is quite warm to be a young white wine (13 degrees).
Serve it fresh combined with aperitifs or starters in general such as: salty vegetable pies, omelettes, cold cuts and softy, middle aged cheese. It also goes very well with seafood or a delicate asparagus risotto or white meat dishes and rabbit with sweet peppers.
Enjoy your tasting!

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.
