The Ghiomo "Fussot" Langhe Arneis has an intense straw color with pale green reflexes. A delicate, complex and seducing bouquet with floral hints (broom and camomile), a fresh, fruity flavor of peach or pineapple. The taste is pleasantly dry with a lightly sweet hint, which gives a fresh and long lasting aftertaste.
Excellent with river fish and shellfish, or marinade meats.
The Ghiomo estate, first established in the early 1800s, takes its name from a tool used to construct the wooden wine barrels. The estate is situated in Guarene which lies between Langa and Roero, just 2 kilometers from Alba, home to many world famous wines and white truffles. The vineyards are very similar in characteristics and altitude to those of La Morra, in the heart of Barolo. The soils are rich in grey marl, clay, and a little sand, leading to wines that express great texture and character. It is the choice of the estate to only cultivate native vines such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Arneis. Ghiomo takes particular pride in the fact that their wine is so deep-rooted in their long-standing country traditions.
Strictly traditional growing methods are followed in the vineyard. Ghiomo aims to guarantee that the grapes and the wines themselves are as natural and expressive of the terroir as possible.
