PelassaSan Vito Arneis Roero
100% Arneis
In the terroir of Roero, in northern Piedmont, lies the Pelassa Winery. At an elevation of 330m above sea level, the vines enjoy an optimal climate. The sandy soil adds elegance and finesse, while the calcareous components provide structure and minerality. Composed of Arneis grapes that are carefully hand-harvests in the middle of September, San Vito Roero Arneis has often been likened to a White Barolo, showcasing its unique and complex nature.
Roero Arneis showcases a straw-yellow hue. Floral notes on the nose, reminiscent of broom and chamomile, and a hint of honey and cooked white fruits. A dry and harmonious experience on the palate, marked by a refreshing acidity and inherent minerality, characteristic of Arneis from Montà d’Alba.
San Vito Roero will beautifully pair seafood delights like grilled prawns and lemon-infused scallops to light pasta dishes such as linguine with lemon and herbs. Its refreshing acidity adds brightness to fresh salads, while its crispness beautifully accompanies soft cheeses.

San Vito.The white side of Roero.
San Vito is made entirely from Arneis grown near Montà d’Alba, at around 330 metres. Several months on the lees add texture while preserving its fresh white-fruit character.
A straw-yellow colour leads into broom, chamomile, honey and white fruit. Dry and fresh on the palate, this is a different expression of Piedmont from the region’s better-known reds.
