Dried leaves and smoke... oak... leather... tobacco. There's so much going on in this glass.
It's complex and well balanced.

Deep brassy gold color. Nose has loads of yellow fruits and stony minerals (It’s a blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 30% Arinto, and 20% Alvariho grapes). Meadow flowers and a teensy bit of toastiness. In the mouth it’s ripe and deeply flavored, the fruit very low-toned. Tons of stony minerals. The texture is soft and broad. Acids are low-ish. Nice, lengthy finish. I don’t think this will age, but it’s really nice now. — 8 months ago
It’s a difficult, low-yielding white grape from the Piedmont (NW Italy) whose name, Arneis translates to “Little Rascal”. I discovered it while visiting the region, a few years back, and have been a fan ever since. Aromatic, spicy, and full-flavored it entertains the pallet with crisp lime and tart tree fruits. It paired well with salad based foods and light cheeses. Roero is where, within the Piemonte, the grapes were grown. — 3 years ago
