2022 Cantina Tibaldi Roero Arneis Riserva DOCG 'Bricco delle Passere'

100% certified organic Arneis from the single ‘Bricco delle Passere’ vineyard, planted 35 years ago by Monica and Daniela’s father. Handpicked and fermented with native yeasts; aged sur lie for a year in steel. 2022 was a warm year, and this wine is bursting with ripeness in a totally delicious way. Medium-full bodied and richly textured, with apricot, citrus, white flowers and saline notes. Sisters Monica and Daniela Tibaldi farm 20 acres of organic vineyards. They are the fourth generation to farm here but the first to make wine. The vines are an average of 30 years old, with some plots over 90 years old.  The two look after each individual vine with the sole aim of producing excellent fruit, meaning there is little need for intervention in the cellar. The vineyard work is done by hand with an eye to conserving the environment and landscape.
