2019 Arneis

$25.00

In stock

Arneis (ah-nase) is an aromatic Italian white AKA ‘The Little Rascal’, because it can be a bit of a troublemaker in the vineyard. It’s bright and fragrant like a mountain breeze and as elegant as an Italian supermodel.

Region: Yarra Valley

Alc/Vol: 11%

Smells like: White peach, lemongrass and salted cashews 

Tastes like: Lemon blossom and nashi pear. Textural and mouth-watering with a fine, dry finish

Goes with: Italian fennel coleslaw, crab linguini, barbecued calamari. A motorboat on Lake Como
