Area: San Rocco Seno d’Elvio (Barbaresco) Age: Minimum 15-year-old vines Vinification: The most important thing with Arneis is being able to keep the acidity balanced with the sugar content. The grapes are therefore harvested in small baskets, that are then kept for one at 0-2 degrees Celcius, before they are pressed. The rest of the vinification also happens at low temperatures to be able to keep and preserve all of the aromas.
Arneis might be a bit unknown to many, and I think that it can best be described as a mix of Chardonnay and Grüner Veltliner. A lovely acidity, citrus fruits and minerality from the Chardonnay, mixed with the stricture, something more green and a light bitterness from the Grüner.
