The Wine

The Langhe Arneis "Srej" by Roberto Sarotto is a white wine that best showcases the potential of the Arneis grape and the drive for innovation of this now renowned Piedmontese winery. The term "Srej" comes from the Piedmontese dialect and means "oak forest," referring to the vineyard near the winery in Neviglie where the grapes for this wine are grown. This Arneis presents a straw yellow color with golden highlights, hinting at a broad and complex bouquet. On the nose, tropical fruit notes like pineapple and mango emerge, accompanied by a delicate hint of white flowers. On the palate, it stands out for its balanced freshness, with a light minerality that enhances the tasting experience, offering a persistent finish with touches of almond and citrus. The structure is round and soft, providing a silky and pleasant mouthfeel. Vinification partially takes place in wood, adding complexity and longevity to the wine, while not overwhelming the grape's typical freshness. Ideal with fish dishes, white meats, and medium-aged cheeses, this wine also pairs perfectly with delicate first courses, such as stuffed egg pasta, but remains an excellent choice as an aperitif.
