ABOUT THIS WINE
The Roero Arneis 'Ave' 2023 from Cascina Luisin is a white wine made from 100% Arneis grapes, hailing from the Roero DOCG in Piedmont, Italy. The name Arneis, meaning 'naughty boy' in the local dialect, reflects the grape's historical reputation for being difficult to cultivate. Cascina Luisin, a winery with a legacy dating back to 1913, is a family-run estate where the eighth generation, Roberto Minuto, continues the tradition of enhancing the vines and respecting established winemaking practices. The grapes for this particular bottling are sourced from a hillside parcel between Castelinaldo and Vezza d'Alba, where the vines are over 25 years old.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Roero Arneis 'Ave' 2023 undergoes fermentation in steel tanks, a technique that helps to preserve its fresh character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in steel for approximately six months on its fine lees, a process that can add texture and complexity. It is then aged further in the bottle for a period before release, with a small amount of sulfur dioxide added at bottling. The winemaking approach at Cascina Luisin emphasizes traditional methods and a focus on the health and expression of the vines.
