2025 Vietti Roero Arneis 6pk 6x750ml

Vietti has been making wine in Piedmont since 1873. When Alfredo Currado married into the family in 1967, he did something no one else dared: he bottled Arneis as a monovarietal at a time when the grape was being abandoned. By the 1970s, only two producers in all of Italy were keeping Arneis alive — Vietti and Bruno Giacosa. Currado became known as the father of Arneis, and his stubbornness paid off: the grape now covers 2,400 acres across Piedmont.

This bottle comes from practicing-organic vines planted around 1983 in Santo Stefano Roero. The fruit is hand-harvested in early September and fermented slowly in sealed steel tanks at 14–16°C to lock in freshness and reabsorb natural CO2. No malolactic, no oak — just pure expression of the variety that Currado saved.

Arneis delivers white peach, lemon, and elderflower aromatics with almond and mineral undertones. The palate is dry, medium-bodied, and crisp — the kind of refreshing acidity that makes lighter reds feel overworked. Think of it as the Piedmontese answer to Chablis: clean, structured, bright.
