Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage of Arneis pays homage to its Piemontese roots. This "little rascal" is a light to medium-bodied white wine with a pale-greenish colour and a youthful nose filled with Bartlett pear, mint, kiwi and fresh apricot, all against the backdrop of the herbaceous nature typical of Arneis. On the palate, flavours of lime zest, white peach, beeswax, orange blossom and a streak of fresh minerality are all framed by a refined mouth-watering acid structure. The result is an appealing wine with a beautiful mid-palate weight, and long, fresh finish. The 2022 Arneis is a perfect fit for seafood, especially oysters and scallops, asparagus & tomato pasta salad, or any sharp cheese like pecorino or manchego. This is a fresh yet complex wine that is ready to drink now, and would be best enjoyed before the end of 2026.
