Azienda Agricola Valdinera
 |
 |
| Located in the heart
of Piedmont
near the city of Alba, the Valdinera estate has been farmed by the
Careglio
family for four generations. At present, it consists of about 41
acres of which 22 are vineyards. Currently, “Beppe”
Careglio grows
Barbera,
Favorita, Nebbiolo and, of course, Arneis. Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.) Tasting notes: No oak. Just the essence of the grape - and a relatively unusual grape at that. Grown in the Roero area of Piedmont, this fine, dry 100% Arneis suggest peaches laced with hints of honey --- a delicious white from a region best known for some of Italy's most famous reds. |
