Roero Arneis Riserva Vigna Renesio DOCG 2021 - Monchiero Carbone

Francesco Monchiero is one of those mountaineers who, while still climbing a high peak, have their sights set on the next. His goal is not only to bring his Azienda's wines to the top, but also to advance the wine region in general, for which he is in a sense responsible as president of the Consorzio del Roero. Francesco Monchiero wants to set the bar even higher with the new wines from a specially created “Grand Cru” Riserva Vigna Renesio and Riserva Bricco Genestreto line only in 2020. This was after he was the first to receive the coveted Tre Bicchieri with his Arneis Roero Cecu d'La Biunda and doubled again with Tre Bicchieri two years later. From the Renesio vineyard in Incisa, Monchiero extracts the grapes that he has selected as the most suitable for aging based on his almost thirty years of experience. Unlike the other whites, the Riserva Renesio is partly aged in wooden barrels and over a longer period of time, a total of over 3 years, before it is on the market. Older wines from Monchiero, up to twenty years old, which we have already had the pleasure of tasting, showed an astonishing freshness and almost spectacular complexity. The young Riserva Renesio is strong in expression with notes of exotic fruits, very precisely defined and appears decidedly racy on the palate, minerally salty with lively persistence.
