Langhe DOC Arneis 2021

£16.00

An Indigenous Piedmontese white grape variety produced in the province of Cuneo. The name Arneis originated in 1877 from Count Giuseppe di Rovasenda. The name’s origin seems to be attributed to the idea of ​​linking the character of this vine to the dialect term used to describe a “naughty” and “reckless” person (perhaps being referenced by the monkey on the label). Arneis remembers the return of the historic indigenous vines of our land combining the structure of a white wine grown in a land of red wines.

 

The grapes come from a Guyot-trained vineyard located in Langhe territory, in Barbaresco.

 

The colour is a typical straw yellow with greenish hues. The nose is fresh with some notes of exotic fruits, citrus, and dill. On the palate it is pleasantly well-rounded, dry, with pleasant hints of lemon and mango. The smooth acidity makes it fresh and slightly sour in the finish.
