Tasting Notes: This vibrant white wine opens with an aromatic bouquet of white flowers, crisp pear, sun-warmed peach, and subtle wild fennel. On the palate, a stony minerality drives bright flavors of lime citrus, green apple, and apricot, balanced by a creamy texture derived from extended lees aging. The finish is remarkably clean and long, leaving a refreshing, slightly salty trace that invites another sip.
Estate History: The Almondo family has deep roots in the Roero region of Piedmont, having farmed agricultural land in the village of Montà d'Alba since the 14th century. The modern winemaking era began in 1980 when Domenico Almondo took over the estate with a vision to elevate the local Arneis grape into a world-class white wine. Today, the family manages fragmented, steep vineyards characterized by unique sandy and calcareous soils, blending traditional respect for the land with precise, contemporary cellar techniques.
