• 6 bottle of 2018 Cascina Chicco Anterisio Roero Arneis DOCG

Cascina Chicco is a great producer, and this wine is an excellent representation of their style. Anterisio is a little zone of Canale, in the region of Piemonte, with a vibrant history and named after one of the most important places for the cultivation of the Arneis grape variety.

Arneis is capable of donating very peculiar flavour and aroma to wines, having a very smooth texture with a fantastic structure. The significant aspect of this wine is that it is not too savoury and for this reason, very approachable to many palates. Great wine as an aperitif also.

The taste is intense and persistent, with fragrant apricot and apple scents, then final notes of camomile and spice. In the mouth, it is sapid and harmonious with good structure.

Food pairing

I recommend pairing it with hors d’oeuvre, rice, pasta and fish.
