Paitin Arneis 'Vigna Elisa' (Langhe) '22

The Paitin Arneis 'Vigna Elisa' from Langhe is a vibrant and nuanced expression of Roero’s Arneis grape, produced with organic viticulture on sandy soils interspersed with white calcareous marl. This wine honors Elisa Elia, a pivotal figure in the Paitin family history, who managed the estate during World War II. The wine opens with enticing aromas of apricot, grapefruit, wild herbs, and a touch of minerality. On the palate, these flavors are joined by a dry, clean finish, highlighted by a subtle hint of white pepper. Its freshness and complexity make it an ideal pairing with light seafood dishes, white meats, or creamy risottos. This historic, small-production wine captures the essence of Roero’s terroir and the legacy of a family dedicated to tradition. Perfect to enjoy now, it showcases the unique elegance of Arneis. 100% Arneis ; Vineyard: Priocca, Roero, with southwest exposure at 200-240 masl.
