What kind of wine is it

Roero Arneis Merica from Ca’ Rossa is a white wine from Piedmont made from Arneis grapes grown in the Roero region. It stands out for its fresh and aromatic profile, with floral and fruity notes enhanced by fermentation and aging exclusively in stainless steel. A brief period of bottle aging helps preserve the wine’s vibrancy and aromatic purity, offering immediate balance and a light, approachable character.

Where it comes from

This wine originates from the classic area of Roero, north of the Tanaro River in Piedmont, where the continental climate and marked temperature fluctuations help the grapes to ripen gradually.

How it's made

Both fermentation and aging take place exclusively in stainless steel, helping to preserve the grape variety’s freshness and aromatics.

Tasting notes

Food pairings

This Arneis pairs well with fish starters, soups made with grains and legumes, seafood pasta dishes, and traditional Piedmontese tomini. For a local touch, it also complements bagna cauda.

When to serve it

Roero Arneis Merica is best enjoyed young, within a few years of production, to appreciate its freshness and liveliness. Serve it chilled in large, lightly flared glasses to enhance its aromatic profile. Its refreshing acidity also makes it suitable as an aperitif during warmer seasons.
