Description

At first glance, it dazzles us with its intense straw-yellow color. On the nose, it reveals floral and fruity notes: acacia blossom, nectarine, peach, and melon intertwine. On the palate, these aromas reappear, combined with freshness and a touch of minerality. In Piedmont, the word arvia is used to describe a "very lively and intelligent" child.

Food and wine pairings

Arvia will be ideal as an aperitif, with fish-based starters, with shrimp and courgette risotto or with vegetable pasta.

Viticulture

The estate covers 14 hectares, 6.5 hectares of which are woodland and deciduous trees that act as a natural lung during the summer months, helping to cool and moderate the air. The vineyards cover 7.5 hectares and are situated on clay-limestone soil with sandy veins. They benefit from excellent west-southwest exposure. Natural grass cover is maintained between the rows, and green harvesting takes place in July. The grapes are then hand-harvested between the end of August and the beginning of September, at optimal ripeness, into 20 kg perforated crates.

Winemaking

After gentle pressing and two days of cold static settling, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for three months in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees. Racking and natural clarification precede bottling.

Azienda Rizieri

Azienda Rizieri is located on a hillside, at an altitude of approximately 350 meters in the Sorì del Ricchino. It lies in the heart of the Langhe region, among the beautiful hills of Diano d'Alba, one of the 11 municipalities that make up the Barolo production area.

Piedmont

Nestled at the foot of the Alps in northwestern Italy, Piedmont is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions. Protected by the mountains and influenced by a continental climate with significant temperature variations, it offers ideal conditions for producing wines of great elegance and remarkable complexity.

The king of grapes in the region is Nebbiolo, the source of the legendary Barolo and Barbaresco wines—deep, tannic, and fragrant, capable of aging for decades. Arneis, on the other hand, produces elegant and aromatic white wines. In Piedmont, each hill and each village possesses its own distinct identity, expressed in the glass with unique sincerity. A true jewel of Italian winemaking heritage, the region appeals to lovers of powerful wines as much as to those passionate about balance and refinement.
