Arneis
75cl * 13.5% ABV * Piedmont, Italy
The gentle, sandy hills of the Roero are on the wrong side of the tracks as far as growing Nebbiolo is concerned in this part of the Piedmont. However, Arneis - sometimes known as ‘Barolo bianco’ - is a trendy white grape variety that has been found to thrive in these difficult soils. Ample in texture, its enticing flavours of Seville orange, pink grapefruit and jasmine blossom are offset by a seam of fine acidity.
