Roero Arneis

From Roero’s sandy soils, and vines nearly 30 years old, this Arneis was fermented and aged in stainless to preserve the delicate fruit. Perfumed pear, quince, and crystalline lemon peel ring through this lifted white, seasoned with crushed stones and kissed with jasmine blossoms. The finish lingers with stony salinity. Very sophisticated.

The 2023 Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis serves is the definitive benchmark for Roero Arneis. Bruno Giacosa achieved international fame for Arneis through his dedication to terroir-driven winemaking while establishing himself as a master of Barolo and Barbaresco. I love Arenis stone fruit character: pear and white peach scents followed by chamomile and almond notes with beautiful subtle herbal undertones and stony mineral elements. Arneis is grown in the beautiful hills of Roero, just outside the Langhe area where the soil is rich in sand which helps produce wines with elevated aromatics and refined structure. The 2023 Bruno Giacosa Arneis serves both an aperitivo wine and pairs well with crudo seafood pasta, light poultry dishes and creamy cheeses. This is the best way to try a top producer without breaking the bank, it is for sure I must have wine.
