2024 Bruno Giacosa - Roero DOCG Arneis (750ml)

Born from Roero’s distinctive sandy-clay terroir, the 2024 Bruno Giacosa Roero DOCG Arneis delivers a structured, mineral-driven profile that distinguishes it from lighter Italian whites. Giacosa played a pivotal role in rescuing this historic Piedmont grape from near extinction in the late 1960s, and today his estate draws fruit from twenty-to-thirty-year-old vines across selected plots in Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, and Montà d’Alba. Winemaking adheres to a precise regimen: an extended three-to-four-week fermentation in stainless steel preserves primary fruit and natural tension, while skipping malolactic conversion locks in vibrancy. Several months of controlled tank aging and a final month resting in bottle finalize the wine’s cohesion before release.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw with vivid green highlights, the 2024 opens with layered aromatics of lemon zest, ripe pineapple, white peach, and acacia blossoms. The palate proves unusually substantial for the varietal, carrying concentrated stone fruit through a firm stony backbone to a clean, lingering finish. Drinkability begins immediately upon pouring.

Suggested Pairings

The wine’s calibrated acidity and moderate weight handle rich, savory preparations without overpowering the glass. Serve chopped calamari salad, traditional spaghetti carbonara, grilled white fish, or lightly sautéed shellfish alongside this bottling. It also works effectively as a stand-alone aperitif when chilled.
