Our Tasting Note: Medium straw yellow to light gold in color.  The med+ nose is shy at first, it opened beautifully in the glass. Open this an hour before. Charming fruit aromas like pear, golden delicious apple, and mandarin orange, subtle beeswax, mineral salinity, and subtle white flower blossoms. The palate is medium bodied, med/med+ fresh acidity, with a tightly layered and dense palate that opens with air. A med+ finish frown to long, youthful, fresh, and complex. A delightful and significantly more serious style of Arneis. Youthfully and tightly layered, it comes to you so make sure you give it the air it needs!

Grape:
100% Arneis
Vineyard:
Sand with some clay in the 50+ year-old plots of the Sanche vineyard. Regenerative agriculture. Organic in the vineyard. No herbicides. Cover crops are planted and cut in the spring.
Winemaking:
 All natural yeast fermentation in used French oak foudre, 3 days maceration on skins via a Pied a cuve ferment. 3 days of skin contact give a subtle kiss of tannins, but this is NOT an orange wine.
