Pure Roero Arneis DOCG

Roero Arneis DOCG by Marenco is pure Arneis. The autochthonous Arneis vine, as described by the Consorzio di Tutela “has practically always been cultivated in the Roero. Between the end of the 1400s and the beginning of the 1500s we find the first written traces of it, under the form Reneysium and Ornesium, and in the citation of a vineyard called “moscatelli et renexij”, which refers to a place, today’s Canalese Renesio, where that native grape was probably grown”.
