Arveja Langhe Arneis
DOC
2024
Climate
The 2024 growing season began with mild winter weather and occasional rain showers that helped partially replenish groundwater reserves that were depleted after the past summer’s drought conditions. The vines broke dormancy normally during a period of mild weather. The final half of spring and summer brought rain showers. These climatic conditions required specific soil management techniques to preserve the health of the vines and not only: cluster thinning proved to be essential in guaranteeing that grapes developed with good sugar concentration levels and good freshness. The grape harvest for Prunotto’s Langhe DOC Arneis began on September 13th and was completed on September 23rd.
Harvest and Vinification
The grapes were harvested into baskets, brought to the cellars, and gently pressed. The must was clarified using a cold temperature decanting method. Fermentation took place at a temperature that did not exceed 18 °C (64 °F) for approximately 15 days. Before bottling, the wine was left to age at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks for several months.
Historical Data
