Ca'u u Rabaja Langhe Arneis 2010

The nose is very pleasantly aromatic, with typical floral, fennel, orange blossom, yellow plum, pear, orchard fruit, mango and papaya notes. The palate is bright and fresh, with tart and juicy acid, medium body and moderate roundness. Long finish. Very pleasant, very pure and more mineral expression than the average. The freshness make it a delicious alternative to sauvignon blanc, viognier or grüner.
