The Arneis grape is widespread in Piedmont especially in the Roero area. Following the depopulation of the countryside and the various crises in the wine sector, in the 1960s the presence of Arneis was reduced to the almost disappearance, but was later rediscovered for its enological characteristics and proposed as a quality white wine in a land of red wines. Today there are more than 600 hectares of Arneis vines in Piedmont and small quantities are also cultivated in California, Australia and New Zealand. Arneis also has a very small spread in Liguria and Sardinia.
