Made from \u003cstrong\u003eArneis\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it displays a bright straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. The bouquet opens with \u003cstrong\u003ehawthorn\u003c\/strong\u003e and elderflower notes, blending with hints of white peach, ripe pear and exotic fruit, complemented by nuances of acacia honey and mineral undertones. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003efresh and enveloping\u003c\/strong\u003e style, with a medium body and a velvety texture. The balance between savouriness and acidity supports the sip, leading to a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with delicate hints of hazelnut and almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Piedmont, from selected grapes grown in the municipalities of Monteu Roero, Vezza d’Alba and Montà d’Alba. The vines, cultivated between 200 and 330 metres above sea level, benefit from exposures that promote \u003cstrong\u003eregular ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e and preserve the integrity of the \u003cstrong\u003eArneis\u003c\/strong\u003e grape. The character of the wine is shaped by \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of marine origin, enriched with marl and limestone. This particular geological structure gives the wine a pleasant smoothness and a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral component\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring the balance between softness and lively savouriness typical of the great whites of \u003cstrong\u003eRoero\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery to preserve their fragrance. Part of the grapes are destemmed for a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting twenty-four hours, while the remaining bunches undergo gentle pressing to extract only the free-run must. Fermentation takes place separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The different batches are then combined into a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious blend\u003c\/strong\u003e, kept at a low temperature to protect its organoleptic qualities. \u003cstrong\u003eMaturation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e on fine lees for several months completes the process, stabilising the aromatic freshness and the precision of the flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePradalupo Roero Arneis enriches the “The Stripes” range, whose label pays tribute to the historic architecture of the Fontanafredda village. Under the guidance of Danilo Drocco, the estate combines \u003cstrong\u003etradition and a modern approach\u003c\/strong\u003e across its 100 hectares of vineyards. The grapes are harvested in 20 kg crates for a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003evinification in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e in separate batches. The process concludes with a cold blending, thus preserving all the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fontanafredda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47653790810283,"sku":"62368","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/fontanafredda-roero-arneis-pradalupo-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
