The wines have been going down well with those that like full-bodied and rich whites. Centuries ago, Arneis grapes were planted next to the noble Nebbiolo vines in Barolo and Langhe to give Piedmont bird life something alternative to feast upon. In modern times, Arneis wines are enthusiastically quaffed in the enotecas of Turin as if nothing much has changed.

Roberto Sarotto's Runcneuv comes from old Arneis vines grown in Nevigle, east of Asti, and in the 1970s, the Arneis grape was on the brink of extinction, but has since been revived by producers like Roberto Sarotto, with “Runcneuv” referring to the particular area where the Arneis is grown.

The grapes are given a few hours of maceration on the skins, and the wine remains on its lees for three to four months in stainless steel tanks, presenting it with a fragrant bouquet of fresh fruits and lively floral notes, with delicious minerality on the finish. It is classy, balanced and a snip at this price.

This wine pairs beautifully with light dishes, making it ideal for everyday meals. Its refreshing character complements seafood, salads, and pasta, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Since the early 19th century, the Sarotto family have been involved in the winemaking traditions of Piedmont, and through the innovative leadership of Roberto Sarotto in the late 1990s, he brought the family winery to new heights, bringing their wines to an international audience, going on to win numerous awards and recognition, and elevating the Sarotto name alongside top producers of the Piedmont region.
