Arneis

The Arneis is a white grape variety that is often planted near Alba (Italy), and was saved not so long ago by a group of Barolo producers, otherwise it would have become extinct. The Arneis grape is often used for the Roero Arneis and is a white wine. Arneis means "little difficult one", a grape that was difficult to grow in the vineyard. Roero is the name of the Roeri hills in Piedmont, the place where the grape is planted. It is mainly used in Italy for the Roero Arneis or to mix with other grapes, which can use the fruitiness and softness of the Arneis.

What does a wine from the Arneis grape taste like?

Arneis produces delicious juicy wines with white fruit notes in aroma and taste. A defiant bitterness in the taste is the charm of this wine. We have to think of green apple, unripe pear and almond and in rich years a hint of melon. The Arneis wines are charming, fresh and very drinkable.
