Vintage Character The Marco Pezzuto "Brighéla" Roero Arneis DOCG 2024 represents a stunning expression of Piedmont’s signature white grape. The 2024 growing season yielded a bright, energetically fresh vintage, thanks to warm daytime temperatures balanced by cool Alpine breezes during the final ripening phases. Sourced from the steep hills of Sommariva Perno, this wine thrives in Roero's iconic sandy soils. Rich in marine fossils, these soft, loose sands impart a distinct floral lift and a flinty, saline minerality that makes this white wine highly distinctive.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it offers an alluring bouquet of white peach, green apple, and spring blossoms, accented by hints of almond and chamomile. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied, showing vibrant citrus energy alongside a textured, mineral-driven core that leads to a clean, savory finish. This white pairs beautifully with Western dishes like grilled sea bass with lemon-herb butter or a fresh goat cheese salad, as well as Asian delicacies such as steamed shrimp dumplings.
