Unbelievably, unyielding aromatics, this white will have your attention at first sniff. The bouquet conjures scents of white acacia blossoms, fresh picked summer peaches, roasted sweet almonds and ripe apricots.
Once you get past the intoxicating nose of this beautiful wine, the palate continues to entice with lush full-bodied fruit. The triumphant finish of this Arneis lingers with minerality and focused acidity and a delicate hint of almond skin.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this wine. Try this Roero Arneis and you will partake on a truly memorable white wine experience!
I enjoyed this wine so much I had to do a bit a research as I often do on wines and wine regions. The word Arneis in the local dialect of the Langhe (the Piedmontese language) translates to 'little rascal.' Apparently this grape is quite difficult to grow, stubbornly thin skinned white grape which once played a role as an aromatic subordinate to the reds of Piedmont, much like Viognier to Hermitage in the northern Rhone, has been saved from extinction by a few Piedmont growers to which we owe a world of gratitude.
This is one of the great white wines of Italy by one of the top producers in Italy. It is an incredible combintation that is stunning every year.
