Production
The estates winemaking strategy is always to show case the grape and deliver a reflection of the growing season. This means they ferment the Arneis in stainless steel tanks to dryness and keep the wine on the lees for a minimal amount of time. The wine is kept cool throughout fermentation which helps preserve the fresh fruit and aromatic components of this variety. Using temperature control during fermentation to keep the process moving slowly; it was kept at 10 degrees for nearly a month. Once that low, cool primary alcoholic fermentation was complete, the finished wine spent the duration of its maturation in stainless steel, forgoing both oak aging and malolactic fermentation.
Winery
Our very own "little rascal" (the literal translation of the word Arneis in the local Italian dialect). Originally hailing from the Piedmont region of Italy, this uncommon white grape yields a light, refreshing white wine that is uncommonly delicious.
