“Alfredo Currado was a visionary in so many ways, it almost boggles the mind to think of all of areas in which he was a pioneer. Currado and the Vietti family were among the first producers to recognize the value of owning their vineyards. In 1961 Currado was one the first growers to release single-vineyard Barolos and Barbarescos, with his Rocche and Masseria bottlings. Later that decade he virtually single handedly resurrected the nearly-extinct white Arneis, today a DOCG wine that has brought enormous riches to so many of his fellow growers and producers.”
- Antonio Galloni of The Wine Advocate
Vietti and Bruno Giacosa are considered the best producers of Roero Arneis. Having tasted both in Italy in April I can attest that both are very fine but I prefer the Vietti and it costs 1/3 less. Pale sunshine yellow color with fresh floral, citrus and melon aromas with hints
of almonds. An unoaked, dry, medium bodied white wine
with crisp acidity, the Arneis is a well-balanced, elegant wine with good complexity and a lingering finish. 90 points, Steve Rayman
The 2009 Arneis is a pretty, fresh white laced with apples, pears, flowers and mint. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2011. 88 points, Antonio Galloni for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #190 (AUG 2010) |
