WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gheppio Roero Arneis is vinified from 100% Arneis grapes. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, typically between 14-16°C, to preserve the wine's aromatic qualities. Following fermentation, the wine usually ages on its lees in stainless steel tanks to enhance texture and freshness. Malolactic fermentation is generally avoided. Harvest for the Arneis grapes usually occurs in late September or early October.
