Winemaker Notes
The 2018 M.A. Monticelli Roero Arneis generously wafts from the glass with aromatics of white peaches, pears, orange blossoms, mandarins, and lemon rind. The palate exhibits nice viscosity while maintaining freshness. Flavors of honeysuckle and marzipan on the palate combined with a long-lasting finish showcase the complexity of this beautiful Northern Italian white wine.

Made from 100% Arneis, the 2018 Arneis is a beautiful white that drinks well above its humble price point. Offering a vivid gold hue, notes of crushed citrus and salty minerality, medium body, and bright, crisp acidity, I’d be thrilled with bottles in the cellar. Drink it over the coming year or two.
