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

Tasting Notes

The 2022 vintage of Bruno Giacosa’s Roero Arneis is a pristine example of the varietal’s capacity for elegance and precision. Pale straw in the glass with flashes of green, it offers a beautifully restrained yet expressive nose. Aromas of white peach, chamomile, pear blossom, and crushed almond lead, with underlying notes of river stone and lemon verbena. On the palate, it’s vibrant yet rounded—the texture silky but structured. Flavors of Anjou pear, green apple skin, and honeysuckle give way to a refined minerality and a subtle bitter almond finish that speaks to its origin in the sandy hills of Roero. The acidity is fresh but never sharp, providing clarity and balance throughout the glass.

Food Pairings

This wine pairs best with dishes that emphasize delicacy and detail. Try it alongside crudo di pesce with lemon and olive oil, vitello tonnato, or handmade agnolotti del plin in butter and sage. Mild cheeses like robiola, fresh mozzarella, or bloomy-rind goat’s milk selections bring out the creamy side of the Arneis texture. For a sublime finish, pair with almond panna cotta or a simple olive oil cake with citrus zest. This is white wine that whispers—never shouts—yet commands attention with every sip.
