Roero Arneis
The Santa Vittoria estate is perched on a steep hill on the left bank of the Tanaro river, overlooking the neighboring Langhe and dominating the valley below. Its tower dates back to 1386, and it stands in the eponymous village of Santa Vittoria d’Alba. Here, in soils of marine origin, consisting mainly of sand and calcareous sandstone, vineyards are ideal for producing red wines that are elegant, smooth, and of outstanding prestige. Since 2016, when renowned enologist Giorgia Lavagna joined Santa Vittoria, the winery has vinified, refined, and bottled its prestigious wines in their new cellars in Serralunga d’Alba.

Vinification
The grapes delivered to the cellar in boxes are directly pressed softly with separation of the free-run must from the skins. The must obtained is kept in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks where prior refrigeration and static decanting occurs. Fermentation is conducted at low temperature (18°C). After fermentation, the wine obtained is stored at a temperature of 5°C to avoid malolactic conversion.
