Arneis Langhe, Serra Scura, DOC, Federico Ferrero, Piemonte, Italy 2023

Federico Ferrero is a fourth-generation winemaker based in Mango, in the Piemonte region's Cuneo province. His estate, Azienda Agricola Ferrero Federico, spans 35 hectares - 21 under wine - across hillside plots with limestone soils around Mango, Trezzo, Tinella, Neviglie, and Levice. After resuming wine making in 2002, Federico introduced a modern, terroir-focused approach rooted in family tradition.

Arneis is silvery gold in colour: fresh and precise, offering delicate aromas of pear with a floral lift of acacia blossom. On the palate, it's crisp and textural, showing flavours of green apple and almonds. A subtle mineral streak runs through to a clean, saline finish, balancing gentle fruit with savoury depth - a refined expression of Arneis from Piemonte's hills.
