Arneis
Arneis is the native Piedmontese white grape variety symbol of Roero. Originally the Arneis grapes were used to soften the Nebbiolo grapes so as to define the wine obtained with them the 'Barolo Bianco'. In the 1970s only Vietti and Bruno Giacosa produced Arneis to the point that only the increase of interest in this variety in the following decades could lead to new plants. The Roero area extends on the left bank of the Tanaro river, right in front of the Langhe hills and the famous villages of Barolo and Barbaresco. In an area very suitable for viticulture, Arneis is quite vigorous, with good productivity and ripening expected by the end of September. Small productions of Arneis also appear in California, Oregon, New Zealand and Australia. The best examples of Arneis tend not to be aged in wood and are drunk within two years of bottling. The wine has a straw yellow color. The olfactory profile is intense and of great elegance, with aromas of flowers, white fruit and tropical nuances. On the palate it has a rich, full, soft, pleasantly fruity bouquet with moderate acidity. Some companies, in addition to still wines, produce sparkling versions, both with the Charmat method and with the Metodo Classico. Arneis is an excellent wine as an aperitif and goes very well with fish or vegetable appetizers, with cereal and vegetable soups, with seafood first courses and more generally with fish menus. Try the combination with tomini, grilled robiola or with a fresh cheese platter.
