Gabriele Cordero Innav Roero Arneis 2021 Roero

One of the best arneis we've tasted in ages, this was a brilliant find from the talented Gabriele following a recent trip to Turin. The label shows Gabriele and his grandfather in the family vineyard, planted to old arneis vines of 35 years age. Crisp and yet pithy with gentle pear fruit counterpointed by vibrant, fruity acidity, this finishes on a savoury note thanks to some time on lees, with great persistence. A truly beautiful Italian white wine, and just 5,000 bottles were made.
