Roero Arneis
Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
So I wanted to try some more Arneis after the Cayega. This was at my local wine store and turns out I had tried it before ha ha but it was a 2016 vintage. Herbs and Bartlett pear on the nose. On the palate it’s light and zesty, almost fizzy. And tastes of apricot, sugared lemon and marzipan. Delightful! I ❤️ Arneis!

Not sure if I've been here before.... This has potential, but needs time... At least.
Flint, ash, rose, white pepper, and only a hint of strawberry on the nose.
More red fruit on the palate, including strawberry and red cherry. Sour red cherry. Tannins are very nice at medium plus. Alcohol at medium plus. Acidity is medium. This can certainly be expected to improve with ageing, but I'm concerned that the fruit is not still dominant at only two years in.
