Cascina Valentino, Arneis, Roero, Piedmont, Italy, 2016

Tasted by: Tina Gellie
(at Asda Autumn/Winter press tasting, 04 Oct 2018)
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2019
Asda's current Italian selection is solid, and this is the pick of the whites. Made from the Arneis grape - which means 'rascal' because it's a challenge to grow - it boasts tasty pear, nectarine and spice notes, plus a hint of reduction which adds a complex touch. It's well made and well priced - a good wine for food.
