Piemonte, Arcese 2016, Bera Vittorio e Figli

Region: Piemonte

Grape: Cortese, Favorita, Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino. Field blend (co-plantation).

Vinification: Organic since 1964! Co-fermentation of all the grapes with wild yeasts. Aged on Lee’s for a year in concrete. A tiny amount of sugar added to the bottle to begin a light secondary fermentation: hence the slight effervescence.

Tasting: Very odd white. It shows slight effervescence, the perfect apéro. Nose of tropical pear, wild berries, some fresh grassy action, and a hint of yeasty brioche from the lees. Palate is fresh and tropical with a slight sweetness cut through by the effervescence. COOL WINE.
