Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis 2022 – Italian White Wine from Piedmont (750ml)

Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis 2022 is an elegant white wine from the Piedmont region of Italy, crafted from the indigenous Arneis grape. Bruno Giacosa is a legendary producer, revered for his meticulous approach to winemaking and his unwavering commitment to quality, often referred to as "the legend of Neive." For his Arneis, grapes are sourced from vineyards within the Roero DOCG, a distinct appellation on the left bank of the Tanaro River, known for its sandy, ancient marine soils that impart specific minerality and freshness to the wines. Winemaking for Arneis typically emphasizes preserving the grapes delicate aromatics and freshness. The grapes are usually hand-harvested and undergo a soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures. This gentle and temperature-controlled fermentation is crucial for retaining the grapes vibrant fruit flavors and aromatic complexity. Unlike many red wines from Piedmont, Arneis does not typically undergo extensive aging in oak. Instead, it is usually aged for a short period on its lees (spent yeast cells) in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This "sur lie" aging adds texture and complexity without imparting oak flavors, allowing the pure expression of the Arneis grape and the Roero terroir to shine through, resulting in a crisp, aromatic, and refreshing white wine.

This prestigious Italian white wine is a testament to the terroir of the Roero region. With crisp acidity, delicate floral notes, and a whisper of minerality, it represents the pinnacle of refined, artisanal winemaking.
