Arneis: the Piedmontese white that enchants the senses

Arneis is a fascinating and distinctive white wine, a true gem of Piedmont, a region renowned for its excellent winemaking tradition. The name "Arneis" comes from the Piedmontese dialect, in which it means "rascal" or "mischievous one," a name that might derive from the difficulty of cultivating its grapes, which require special care to fully express their potential. This native variety is primarily grown in the hills of Roero, an area located on the left bank of the Tanaro, and has a history dating back centuries, although its rediscovery and appreciation occurred only in the last decades of the 20th century.

Arneis grapes, valued for their expressiveness and ability to create elegant wines, are cultivated in the sandy and mineral-rich soils of Roero, giving the wines an unparalleled freshness and complexity. The vinification of Arneis follows traditions that respect the integrity of the raw material: often vinified in steel to preserve the freshness of the aromas, sometimes with a brief aging on fine lees to enhance gustatory complexity.

The organoleptic profile of Arneis is fascinating and rich in nuances. On the nose, this white wine opens with an aromatic bouquet ranging from scents of white flowers and white-fleshed fruits, such as pear and peach, to more complex notes of almond and hazelnut, sometimes enriched by a hint of aromatic herbs. On the palate, Arneis offers an enveloping structure and a perfect balance between freshness and softness, with an aromatic persistence that enchants and invites further sips. Its well-calibrated acidity and slightly almond-like finish make it an ideal companion for fish dishes, light appetizers, and fresh cheeses.
