Zerella Wines
La Gita Arneis
McLaren Vale, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
Very interesting interpretation of this Nort western Italian variety.
I personally reckon that releasing this wine after a long bottle age is the key.
The wine is textural, but super fresh too.
Hard to tell we deal with a 5yo wine.
Oily and mineral.
Arneis has always been a go to variety for me when i was in Italy for many reason, but mainly because the attitude towards it it's changing.
It was considered to be a " filling the bad plot" variety, but lately winemakers, specially in Roero, have started to put some light to it.
They say it takes at least a full year in bottle to get out extra layers of personality and so, as a consequence, producers start to apply that to some bottle aged version of it wjth marvellous results.
Zerella has done exactly the same.
The vineyard is on the edge of the cool Adelaide Hills.
Label isn't my favourite, but i guess we can a improve that. The liquid is gold and can age beatifully
