Arneis means "rascal" in Italian, and is so named for its ability to beguile the most patient winemakers. It's a delicate white wine grape that originated (and is still primarily grown) in the Roero hills of Italy's southern Piedmont. It thrives in the chalky and sandy soil of this region. Once nearly extinct, Arneis has made a comeback in recent years. The Arneis de Roero wines received DOC status in 1989 and DOCG in 2006 and production is on the rise, as consumers have come to appreciate its its distinctive herbal and tangerine aromas. It can produce very good wines with lovely notes of apples, pears, nashi pears, celeriac and sometimes a hint of liquorice.

Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
