Product price

Description
Arneis is Piedmont's native white grape, grown across the Roero hills on the left bank of the Tanaro, and here it comes from Bruno Giacosa in the 2024 vintage. Fermented and raised in stainless steel alone, with no oak to blur its edges, it's a still, dry white built around freshness and a mineral, almost saline core rather than weight.
Expect a bright silver-gold pour and an aromatic mix of white peach, melon rind, and lemon oil, threaded with a savory, almost chive-like herbal note that keeps it from feeling simple. On the palate it's medium-bodied and spritely, a touch of white pepper against a kiss of sweet fruit, closing on lingering citrus acidity. A little air in the glass helps it open. It's a natural partner for crudo or vitello tonnato, and it drinks beautifully now while the fruit is fresh.
Expert Reviews
The Bruno Giacosa 2023 Roero Arneis will be a smaller release due to fruit that was damaged during a hailstorm the first week of July. Nonetheless, this wine remains salty, mineral-driven and bright with citrus and white peach. It is executed in stainless steel only. Perhaps this vintage is a little thinner in terms of mouthfeel, but it draws to a close with lingering acidity. Bruna Giacosa recommends giving it a little oxygen before you drink it. This white wine is always a great value buy.
The 2023 Roero Arneis is a bright silver/yellow color, and the nose is fresh and savory, with notes of white peaches, melon rind, lemon oils, and light savory chive notes. Perfectly suited for pairing alongside crudo and vitello tonnato, this medium-bodied white is refreshing and spritely, with a touch of white pepper and a kiss of sweet fruit. It can be enjoyed over the next few years, but it’s so good now while it's fresh, there’s no need to wait. These wines were tasted with Paola Giacosa at the estate. (Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025)
