2024 Ceretto - Langhe Arneis DOC Blange (750ml)
Harvested from hand-selected Arneis vines in Roero’s distinctive sandstone and pebble soils, this 2024 Ceretto Blange delivers the crisp, mineral-driven profile that defines Piedmont’s driest continental microclimate.
Ceretto pioneered temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation for whites in this region, and the Blange follows that technical approach precisely. After careful hand-picking and gentle pressing, the must ferments with native yeasts under monitored conditions. The absence of oak aging ensures the wine stays varietally transparent, preserving the grape’s natural aromatic compounds while building the lean structure and brisk acidity characteristic of a dry, single-zone expression.
Tasting Notes
A pale straw liquid releases primary aromas of pear, green apple, and orange blossom. A restrained nod to bitter almond and crushed limestone anchors the nose. The palate mirrors this clarity, driving through bright citrus and stone fruit tones before landing on a sharp, clean finish.
