Bruno Giacosa, Roero Arneis DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) 2021

 Although Roero boasts DOCG appellation status for both Arneis and Nebbiolo, it needs to be explored more as it is often overlooked in favor of its more famous neighbors, Barolo and Barbaresco.  However, Roero’s landscape produces some of Italy’s most intriguing wines, as evidenced by the Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis 2021.  This Arneis is a pale straw-gold with bright aromas of lemon zest, white peach, green pear, chamomile, and chopped raw hazelnuts.  On the palate, it is fresh, with minerality, apple and pear notes, and mouth-watering acidity, all of which will beautifully complement your summer grilling.
