Arnaldo Rivera Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello 2021

Arnaldo Rivera Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello 2021 is an exceptional, highly distinctive Italian white wine crafted from a nearly forgotten native grape that beautifully showcases the terroir of Piedmont. Pouring a bright straw-yellow hue with silvery green reflections, it opens with an alluring and semi-aromatic bouquet of sliced lemon, ripe Williams pear, and delicate chamomile blossoms, elegantly layered with nuances of fresh lemongrass, white pepper, and a touch of flint. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, crisp, and vibrantly tense. Delivering a juicy core of zesty citrus and fresh guava, it is perfectly balanced by a mouthwatering, animating acidity. Vinified entirely in stainless steel and aged on its fine lees to build texture, it culminates in a pristine, lightly phenolic, and highly refreshing finish defined by a signature mineral salinity.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with fresh seafood crudo, delicate white fish dishes, raw oysters, aromatic herb risottos, and vegetable quiches.

Fresh and mineral character here with notes of sliced lemon, ripe guava and pear skins. White flowers, too. Medium-bodied, tangy and vivid with notes of citrus and crushed herbs with a crisp, lightly phenolic finish. Drink now.
