Le Madri Roero Arneis DOCG 2024
Trade Tools
Italy / Piedmont
The Arneis grapes for Le Madri come from Roero, a small hillside area on the left bank of the Tanaro River, directly across from the Barbaresco zone on the right bank. The soil is rich in calcareous marl and sand with traces of clay, with very good drainage. Fruit is hand harvested and soft pressed, then undergoes controlled temperature fermentation to maintain the aromas. The wine spends three months on fine lees within stainless steel vats.
Harvest Note
After two consecutive years marked by low rainfall, in 2024 rainfall returned to more typical levels, restoring water reserves. Rainfall was spread across February to May, and then again from mid-September onwards. As a result, 2024 proved to be a very demanding year in the vineyard. It was a vintage where the expertise of the grower played a crucial role - everything from timely disease prevention to the late-summer tasks of leaf thinning and crop thinning. Mid-June to mid-September was warm and dry, allowing white grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The second half of September and early October alternated between dry spells and rainfall, which made harvest timing critical. Overall, it was a great vintage for white grapes.
Tasting Note
Intense straw yellow with brilliant green hues, this white wine presents notes of peach, tropical fruits, and acacia flower with an enjoyable savory finish.
