Tasting Note:
Nino Costa’s Roero Arneis balances fresh orchard fruit with a gently rounded texture. Pear, citrus, and fresh herbs lead into a lively palate with a clean, stony finish. There is enough richness to stand alongside a meal without losing the freshness that makes this such a versatile white. Pour it with lemon-roasted fish, shrimp risotto, or ricotta ravioli with butter and sage.
