Malvirà was established in the 1950s by Giuseppe Damonte, at a time when the Roero's potential was yet unrealized. Giuseppe had a great passion for farming and wine, a passion that he passed on to his two sons, Roberto and Massimo. In 1974, Roberto and Massimo took the reigns and began slowly turning the family's bulk wine business into an Estate focusing on quality production. Today, Malvirà's wines are produced from Estate fruit, organically farmed across 104 acres and 6 vineyards. Over the years, they have been one of the most ardent proponents of the Arneis grape.

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.

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.

Studies on the Occurrence of Thiol Related Aromas in Wine
FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE AGRARIE E ALIMENTARI Department of Food, Environmental and Nutritional Sciences (DeFENS) Graduate School in Molecular Sciences and Plant, Food and Environmental Biotechnology PhD programme in Food Science, Technology and Biotechnology XXV cycle Studies on the occurrence of thiol related aromas in wine Scientific field AGR/15 FEDERICO PIANO Tutor: Prof. Antonio Tirelli Co-tutors: Dr. Daniela Borsa (CRA-ENO, Centro di Ricerca per l’Enologia, Asti, Italy) Dr. Bruno Fedrizzi (Wine Science Programme, School of Chemical Sciences, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand) PhD Coordinator: Prof. Maria Grazia Fortina 2011/2012 Studies on the occurrence of thiol related aromas in wine Federico Piano ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Thiol related aromas play a key role in sensory profile of certain wines. In particular, 3- mercaptohexan-1-ol, 3-mercaptohexyl acetate and 4-mercapto-4-methypentan-2-one were firstly identified in Sauvignon blanc wines. Same molecules were then evaluated to contribute to several wine made from different grape varieties. The strong smelling properties of volatile thiols explain their importance, even if such molecules are present at extremely low concentration in wine (ng/L). This characteristic represents the main issue in their identification and quantification in wine. Aromatic thiols are present in grape and juice as non-volatile compounds. In particular, glutathione and cysteine conjugates were identified to be precursors of such smelling molecules. During vinification process, yeast activity is responsible for their release from the cysteinilated precursors. The amount of thiol precursor in juice is influenced by oenological practices. Despite this, no direct correlation between the level of precursors in juice and concentration of thiol in wine has been observed, thus suggesting that alternative biogenetic pathway and/or more complex interaction are responsible for occurrence of aromatic thiol in wine.

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.
