Arneis is the white jewel of Roero, a grape once nearly lost to time, now thriving in the hands of producers like Matteo Correggia. While Nebbiolo may be the star of Piedmont, this expressive white wine proves that Roero’s sandy soils have just as much to say. Correggia’s Arneis is fresh yet textured, elegant yet structured—a wine that captures both the minerality of its terroir and the bright orchard fruit that defines the variety. With a balance of stainless steel fermentation and light skin contact, it delivers a vibrant yet layered expression, perfect for those who appreciate the intersection of finesse and complexity.

Sensory Description:

A vibrant, aromatic white that speaks of Roero’s distinct terroir, this Arneis bursts with notes of white peach, crisp pear, and golden apple, complemented by delicate white florals and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, yet with a gentle roundness that gives it depth. Zesty citrus and mineral undertones carry through to a refreshing, clean finish, making it a wine that beautifully balances energy with elegance.

Winemaker’s Background:

Matteo Correggia was a true pioneer of Roero, recognizing the region’s potential long before it earned DOCG status. He brought international attention to the area's wines, crafting Arneis and Nebbiolo with purity and precision. After his tragic passing in 2001, his wife Ornella Correggia took the reins, defying expectations and continuing Matteo’s vision. Under her leadership, the estate has flourished, producing wines that remain a benchmark for Roero—refined, expressive, and unmistakably tied to their land.

Serving Suggestions:

This Arneis is as versatile as it is vibrant. Serve it well-chilled (50–54°F) with seafood crudo, grilled prawns, or delicate white fish. Its minerality makes it a beautiful match for goat cheese, fresh burrata, or vegetable-forward dishes like asparagus risotto. And for the adventurous? Follow the lead of Ristorante Il Centro di Priocca and pair it with fried frog legs and crunchy vegetables—a classic Piemontese delicacy.
