A stone’s throw from the legendary communes of Barolo and Barbaresco lies Roero, where sandy soils contribute to entirely different styles of wine. The area’s signature white grape is aromatic Arneis, with Almondo’s version being among the very best. Domenico and his sons, Frederico and Stefano, farm vineyards in a number of Roero’s best crus including this hillside that yields some of Roero’s finest Arneis. Known for its limestone rich soils, this medium-bodied wine sings with minerality. The fresh palate is matched by a lovely nose of pear and white flowers.
