Roero Arneis

Confectionary sugar, nectarine and peach overtones with kerosene, largely rubber undertones with an herbaceous edge. A hint of nutmeg and biscuit after half an hour. Fairly straightforward and it does have very lively acidity (a big plus) but the predominantly rubber flavored finish left me wanting for more balance from fruit.

How I love this wine. Floral, delicate stone fruit flavors, bright but not crazy acidity. It's just so delicious

Very earthy. Great representation of the potential of Arneis. Very tame citrus alongside a barrage of Honeycrisp Apple. Great balance and structure.

Brings back memories of my visit to the winery. A great example of what Arneis is and SHOULD be.

Jul 29th, 2015As pure as the driven snow. Restrained aromas are primarily mineral driven (wet stone) with crab apple blossom, freshly sliced golden delicious apple, a spritz of lemon zest and a hint of raw almonds. Medium body, prominent but juicy and refreshing acid, medium plus abv 13.0% lends a touch of heat to the palate. Crisp Granny Smith apple dominates the initial attack on the palate, and then lemon, lime, and Anjou pear. A burst of White pepper serves as an exclamation point for the long finish.

Pours straw in color. Citrus grapefruit-like aromas with some grass. Reminds us of Sauvignon Blanc. Some pithiness to the flavors along with some more grass and citrus maybe a hint of pear. A crisp wine with a medium to light body and a medium finish. Rating is tough since this is not our typical grape so we will go with what people who know the varietal as to not beat up the score
