Roero Arneis: Just in Time for Summer

Just In Time For Summer!

Arneis is Piedmont’s native white, grown for centuries on the same hills that yield Barolo and Barbaresco. By the 1980s it had almost vanished, but a small band of growers nursed it back, and in the ’90s it re-emerged as Roero’s calling card — sometimes dubbed “Barolo bianco,” though it needs no comparison to justify its place at the table.

This bottling comes from the sandy slopes of Santo Stefano Roero. It pours a bright straw yellow. The nose suggests fresh fruit and white flowers. Crisp on the palate, stone-fruit flavors giving way to a clean, mineral finish, typical of the Roero landscape.

Think of Arneis as a lively alternative to Sancerre or a Pinot Grigio with more nerve. Chill it lightly and pair with shellfish, grilled fish, or a simple roast chicken. It’s the sort of everyday white that makes summer meals feel complete.
