Filippo Gallino, Roero DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) Arneis 2018

 This fine rendition of the Arneis variety shows nice richness but is still fresh, which is impressive at 2.5 years since the grapes were picked.  The predominant notes are stone fruit-based, recalling peaches and apricots.  There is still plenty of acidity in this to enable it to display good length on the palate and provide a lesson in how stable Arneis from Roero can be, not only holding nicely, even improving over several years from when first released.
