Vintage Character Marco Pezzuto Roero Arneis "Brighéla" 2025 captures the quintessential charm of Piedmont's renowned Roero DOCG. The 2025 vintage benefited from optimal sun exposure balanced by cool nocturnal breezes, yielding grapes with taut acidity and pronounced aromatics. Situated on the steep, sandy hillside soils on the left bank of the Tanaro River—steeped in ancient marine fossils—this terroir imbues the Arneis grape with an unmistakable mineral spine and delicate floral nuance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this expressive white unfolds with enticing aromas of white peach, crisp Bartlett pear, acacia blossom, and crushed limestone. The palate is vibrant and textured, offering refreshing orchard fruit flavors layered with subtle citrus zest and a classic bitter-almond note on the lingering, saline finish. It pairs beautifully with Piedmontese vitello tonnato, pan-seared sea bass drizzled with olive oil, or Cantonese steamed whole fish with ginger and spring onions.
Winery Background Artisan vigneron Marco Pezzuto champions meticulous vineyard management and authentic, terroir-driven winemaking in the heart of Roero. Focusing strictly on low-yield viticulture and sustainable farming, the estate crafts "Brighéla" with temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation followed by aging on fine lees. This purist, non-oak philosophy highlights the pristine varietal clarity and refined structural elegance that make Roero Arneis a benchmark Italian white.
