Monterustico – Langhe Bianco / 2022
Langhe DOC – Piemonte / Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A white blend from Langhe composed primarily of Arneis, complemented by Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Designed to balance local character with freshness and aromatic lift.

Aromas & Flavors
Pear, apple, and citrus layered with subtle herbal tones and a lightly rustic, stony character. A gentle earthiness runs underneath, giving it a distinctive Piedmont identity.

Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied with a slightly textured, almost rustic edge. Bright acidity provides lift and freshness, while the mineral backbone keeps the wine grounded and structured.

Food Pairings
Light salads, fresh cheeses, antipasti, grilled vegetables, or simple seafood dishes.

Verdict
A character-driven white blend that leans into its rustic charm while maintaining freshness and balance. Not flashy, but expressive and food-friendly.

Did You Know?
Arneis, often called “the little rascal” in Piemonte, was historically difficult to grow but is now prized for its soft texture and subtle aromatics, often forming the backbone of Langhe Bianco blends.

🍷 Personal Pick
This wine hits that sweet spot between rustic and refreshing. The stony, slightly rugged texture paired with enough acidity to lift the flavors makes it incredibly snack-friendly. It’s the kind of bottle that quietly elevates simple bites without demanding attention.

This is insanely good quality for the price. Well balanced, with good acid and weight, and super floral aromatics almost like there is some Muscat in there. Very nice. — 5 months ago

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Earthy nose and medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Very dry on the palate and complex.

Showing red cherries, raspberries, tobacco leaf, earth, light oak, mildew, light green vegetables, herbs, forest floor, black pepper and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 13 year old Barolo is still drinking nicely, but will not get much better from this point on. Soft and elegant, but lost a lot of the fruits by now.

Not fully balanced at this point, but easy drinking and better with food.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

This is dangerously good. The peach and pear flavors are vibrant and just mesmerizing, and it has a nice minerality and good acidity that help balance the flavors out. If you don’t watch yourself, this bottle will be empty in a flash. This is just what I needed to remind me that summer is around the corner, and soon this New England winter will be a distant memory. — 3 months ago

New wine and grape for us. Really enjoyed this one. Light straw color. A little bit of lemon and floral notes. Some pear and stone fruits. A touch of minerality and a slight effervescence that made me think of vinho verde and champagne. Would drink this again in a heartbeat. — 5 months ago
