Region: Piemonte

Grape: 100% Arneis.

Alcohol Percent: 13.5%.

Taste:  This delightful wine is lively, fruity, fresh and well structured.
Luminous crystal clear yellow hue welcomes you into a floral-rich nose, while overtones of peaches and ripe melon flood the palate. Crisp, fresh and dry with impressively balanced acidity followed by a ripe juicy finish with a hint of tarragon and minerals through-out.

The name Pioiero comes from the property “Cascina Pioiero”, or Pioiero Farmstead, which was once ancient feudal property owned by Count Roero, located near the beautiful town of Alba.

       The Robino family prides their work on taking meticulous care of the entire production process, using the time-honored traditional Piemontese wine making techniques directly alongside with the latest modern technologies, all while respecting the environment. All wines from Pioiero respect the EU organic cultivation laws. Made from 100% Arneis grapes grown in the hilly, primeval single vineyard “Cascina Pioiero” (2 hectares) .
