Arneis hails from Italy's Piedmont (literally 'foot of the mountain' region), abutting the Alps in the North-West of the country. As a variety it was almost in danger of dying out in the post-war period, until rescued by producer Vietti in the 1970s.
White peach, subtle apricot, hints of almond. Elegantly fragrant is how it is best described - hints of spring meadow with the associated freshness of an Alpine stream. Citrus tinged on the palate, more than that, it has a lemon freshness imbued with a little sea air. Good phenolics add to the package, adding a little shape, flow and feel. 90 - Good Tasted on: Thursday 4th October, a Root Day Source:Sample Price: $22 Alcohol:12.5% Closure: Screwcap Website: k1.com.au Follow me: http://twitter.com/TheVinsomniac
