Rivetti Mossimo Langhe Arneis Aurelia (75cl, 13%)

A 100% Arneis white wine from Massimo Rivetti in Neive, Piedmont. The Aurelia comes from a vineyard above 500 metres on slopes exceeding 30%, where all work is done by hand. Grapes are harvested in the coolest early morning hours, preserved with dry ice, then undergo one-day cryo-maceration at 0°C before fermentation. The wine rests on its lees for six months. The nose shows ripe pear, nectarine, flowering herbs, lilac and citrus. The palate has yellow stone fruit and melon with minerality, and the finish carries a fine, slightly bitter almond note with citrus peel.
