  • 2019 Roero Arneis Docg
    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

  • Vending Machine Wines “Pet Gnat” (Chenin Blanc) Napa CA '19 $40
    Wine to go NMT Vending Machine Wines “Pet Gnat” (Chenin Blanc) Napa CA ‘19 $40 Local Winemakers Neil and Monica of Vending Machine buzz in with their pun wine “Pet-Gnat”. This funky-fresh spritzy white wine is a great intro into the world of “Petillant naturel” Wines. Using Chenin Blanc, the juice is bottled earlier on in the winery where it finishes fermentation in the bottle. This process traps cO2 and live yeasts giving the wine a home brew beerlike quality. Think key-lime, candied orange peel, and ginger tea. Poderi Cellario “É Orange” (Nascetta, Arneis, Incrocio Manzoni) Langhe, Italy ‘19 $35 Fausto and Cinzia Cellario are 3rd generation winemakers in the village of Carru` on the western outskirts of the Langhe. The family believes in only working with local, indigenous Piemontese grape varieties and fiercely defends local winemaking traditions both in the vineyard work and the cellar practices. Classic “Orange wine” treatment with 5 days grape skin maceration. Aged in clay amphora for 6 to 8 months. Your favorite tart summer creamsicle. Catherine & Pierre Breton, La Rouge (Grolleau) Loire Valley ‘18 -$55 If you remember Catherine & Pierre Breton’s rosé back from the Jazzfest menu, then you know they boogie down. Lively, fruit-driven always capture the spirit of these friendly vignerons, but here is a relatively new bottling that, dare I say, boosts that “boogie” factor completely through the roof. This wine is a pure old-vine Grolleau from soils of clay and silex. The result of a carbonic maceration in wooden vats, and shows its best with a slight chill.

  • Arneis Langhe DOC
    Arneis Langhe DOC The Bongiovanni farmstead dates back to the early 1950s, when it was purchased by Giovanni Bongiovanni. Giovanni planted a Nebbiolo vineyard where there had been nothing but untamed woodland. He struck gold, yet never bottled his own wine. When he died, the estate was left to his daughter Olga who grew to cover prime hillside vineyards of the Langhe for her own wines. Here, the family only planted native grape varieties and one noble international grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. A good number of innovations have come about thanks to Olga’s nephew, winemaker Davide Mozzone. The Bongiovanni philosophy aims to minimize outside intervention and maximize character and terroir, steering clear of stereotypical wines. While not certified organic, the winery proudly participates in Piedmont’s Green Experience, which is a network of sustainable and organic growers. This native Piedmont white grape was once used to “lighten” Nebbiolo but has seen an increase in popularity as of late and is a staple at many a happy hour, thanks to its strong and inviting perfumes. Bongiovanni Arneis ages only in stainless steel to maintain this lightness. Wine exported to: Canada, Puerto Rico, Singapore Most recent awards JAMES SUCKLING: 90 WINE SPECTATOR: 88 Winemaking and Aging Grape Varieties: 100% Arneis Fermentation container: Stainless steel Length of alcoholic fermentation: 4 weeks Type of yeast: Selected Fermentation temperature: 12-14 °C (53.6-57.2 °F) Malolactic fermentation: No Fining agent: Bentonite Aging containers: Stainless steel Container

  • Roero Arneis - from Humble Beginnings to Unqualified Success
    Roero Arneis - From Humble Beginnings To Unqualified Success Tom HylandContributor Food & Drink I write about wine (and sometimes food) from around the world. Arneis grapes in the Roero district PHOTO ©TOM HYLAND Today, Roero Arneis is one of Italy’s greatest success stories among the country’s white wines. But no one could have predicted this situation back in the early 1960s, when the Arneis grape was literally a throw away variety, one that had more value as food for birds than as a source of a wonderfully distinct Piemontese white wine. Let’s go back to the beginnings of this story. In the 1960s, the Arneis variety was planted in between the rows of Nebbiolo throughout the Langhe and Roero districts in Piedmont. The reason for this was simple - this white variety would ripen sooner than Nebbiolo, and combined with its sweet aromas, it would serve as nutrition for the birds who could eat all the Arneis they wanted to, while leaving the valuable Nebbiolo grapes alone. In fact, the variety was not yet called Arneis at that time, but rather nebbia bianca - white Nebbiolo. Luca Currado of the Vietti estate in Castiglione Falletto recalls the origins of Roero Arneis very well, as it was his family’s winery that is credited with producing the first example of Roero Arneis. His father Alfredo Currado, winemaker at Vietti, decided he wanted to make a white wine to complement his porfolio of local reds. He knew he did not want to produce Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, but was intrigued by Nebbia Bianca, which usually was fermented and then later blended with Nebbiolo to make a rosé or in some cases, a sweet white.

  • HIGHLAND FINE WINE APRIL 2013 HALF CASE CLUB Tintero
    HIGHLAND FINE WINE APRIL 2013 HALF CASE CLUB Tintero Langhe Arneis – Peidmont, Italy (Mixed & White Club) $14.99 Arneis, a grape that was once used to soften the tannins of the Nebbiolo grape in wines like Barbaresco and Barolo, has been called the “Barolo Bianco” or “white Barolo;” yet when, in the 20th century, Barolo producers began focusing on using 100% Nebbiolo, the need for Arneis was near nil and the variety was on the verge of extinction. In fact, by the 1970s, only two producers were making wines that needed Arneis. The renewed interest in white Piedmont wine in the 1980s saved this special grape varietal, so Arneis is in the “all’s well that ends well” category! And it will have you thinking that through to its lovely finish. This Arneis is crisp and floral with notes of apricots and pears, and displays a full body that appreciates a variety food from fish to salami, rissoto to truffle pasta. Tramontane Cotes du Roussillon Rosé 2011 – Roussillon, France (Mixed and White Club) $9.99 From the hills of Corbires to the Pyrénées Mountains, Roussillon is the sunniest region of France. The vineyards are ancient with fabulously diverse soils baked by the hot Mediterranean sun. The wines produced here are no less diverse than their soils, and the rosés are particularly impressive. The Tramontane is one such rosé; a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, it’s impossible to deny that it’s something special. With intoxicating intensity, bursting with fresh berry fruit, this Rosé is just the thing for springtime – for anytime, really.

  • Piedmont (Piemonte)
    Piedmont (Piemonte) growing occurs south of the Po Valley, in the provinces of Asti, Alessandria, and Cuneo. Within these provinces, the Monferrato and Langhe hills are planted with vineyards. Soils are predominantly calcareous marl and sandstone with varying percentages of clay and sand, Piedmont has a continental climate and the Alps to the north produce effect, In the Langhe and Monferrato hills, many of the best south facing vineyards planted with Nebbiolo are known as in the Piedmontese dialect,. Varietals Nebbiolo, is thin-skinned & produces wines of high acidity and tannin. The late-ripening Nebbiolo, together with Dolcetto and Barbera are the principal Piedmontese red grapes. Dolcetto, is the earliest to ripen and produces tannic, fruity wines, lower in acid and are suited to producing wines suitable for youthful consumption. Barbera is widely planted red grape. It has high acidity but low tannin. Other lesser indigenous red grapes of Piedmont include Brachetto, Grignolino, Ruchè, Croatina, Vespolina, and Freisa. varietal and is used in the production of the sparkling wines of Asti. Cortese, Arneis, Erbaluce and Favorita (Vermentino) are the other white grapes of the region,( in diminishing order of importance.) International grapes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, have been planted since the 1980s, although usage of such non-traditional grapes is limited to the less-specific DOCs and IGP wines. Piedmont has more DOC zones than any other wine region in Italy at the close of 2010, there were 16 DOCGs and over The most prestigious DOCGs in Piedmont are Barolo & Barbaresco, which are located along the Tanaro River, an area surrounded by the larger Langhe DOC.

  • Grape Archaeology
    http://www.palmbeachillustrated.com/2017/05/09/grape-archaeology/ Grape Archaeology The Resurrection of Arneis May 9, 2017 Mark Spivak In 2017 it’s hard to believe that Italy was once an emerging wine region, but there was a time when perception of Italian wine quality in this country couldn’t have been lower. When I was growing up Chianti was poured from straw baskets, in restaurants with red and white checkered tablecloths. It was the cheapest wine on the list (or on any list, for that matter). The American perception of Chianti began to improve only when the Italian wine law was changed to allow for the inclusion of “foreign” grape varieties, notably Cabernet. Today it would be difficult to find a Chianti Classico with no Cabernet in the blend, and many Tuscan IGTs are fragrant with the aroma of Syrah. Several Italian wine regions resisted that trend, preferring to take the riskier course of glorifying obscure regional grape varieties. Some even went back in time and resurrected varieties that had once flourished and were now nearly extinct. I call them grape archaeologists. Mastroberardino was the pioneer in the south, reintroducing white wines such as Greco and Fiano and making history with their Aglianico-based Taurasi DOCG. In the north, the breakthrough grape was Arneis. Traditionally grown in the hills surrounding the village of Roero, it was brought back into circulation about 50 years ago as the result of efforts by two pioneering wineries, Bruno Giacosa and Vietti. Those two properties still argue about who was the first to resurrect Arneis, but the evidence points clearly to Vietti.

  • Marchesi Incisa Della Rocchetta Rocchetta Tanaro – Piemonte, Italy
    Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta Rocchetta Tanaro – Piemonte, Italy Roero Arneis docg 2017 Arneis is a unique varietal indigenous to the Roero area, in Piedmont, north west of Alba. Since 2006, Roero Arneis has gained DOCG recognition, considered to be the highest quality ranking among Italian wines. Arneis is one of the most interesting wines from Piedmont, which can express an unrivaled fruitiness, a delicate freshness and mineral notes. Tasting notes Color: Straw yellow Nose: An adventure of fruit and floral. Middle notes of acacia, green apple, peach and apricot. Stone fruits and cantaloupe Taste: Light-medium bodied wine, smooth and crisp, fresh and persistent dry, savory and mineral Winemaking Process The grapes are destemmed, pressed and vinified in white, without maceration, and at a low temperature to preserve the original aromas of the varietal. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature. The wine is stabilized at a low temperature to prevent tartaric crystal precipitation in the bottle. Vineyards & Soil The area of production is the geographical area of Roero situated on the left bank of the river Tanaro, in this case the village of Corneliano d’Alba. On the dry sandstone soils of the Roero, the Arneis grapes acquire a delicate bouquet that is reminiscent of white flowers with fresh fruity hints ranging from apple to peach and hazelnuts. Average yield per vine: 1.2 kg (8,000 kg/Ha) Vineyard size: 4 ha Type of soil: dry sandy soil with calcareous stripes rich in mineral Time of harvest: beginning of September Average production: 27,000 bottles / 2,250 cases Analytical values Alcohol: 13.5% alc.
