Sensory Description:

Bright and expressive, the wine shows lifted aromas of white peach, pear, and lemon oil layered with delicate white florals and a faint herbal note reminiscent of fresh sage. The palate is crisp and energetic, driven by lively acidity that carries flavors of stone fruit and citrus, supported by subtle salinity and mineral tension. The warm, humid 2024 growing season with consistent rainfall encouraged even ripening while preserving freshness, lending gentle texture and balance through a clean, lightly savory finish that lingers with quiet precision.

Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 2016, Azienda Agricola Gabriele Cordero is a small, family-run estate built on vineyards originally tended by Gabriele’s grandparents. With a focus on sustainable farming and minimal intervention, the estate emphasizes clarity, balance, and faithful expression of grape and site. Innav serves as both a personal tribute and a clear articulation of Roero Arneis shaped by attentive vineyard work and hands-on winemaking from harvest through bottling.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled to emphasize its aromatic lift and crisp structure. Best enjoyed from a medium-sized white wine glass, it pairs naturally with shellfish, crudo, fresh cheeses, and simple vegetable-driven dishes, where its acidity and subtle salinity complement clean, delicate flavors.
