Tasting Notes

The Arneis grape makes a most enjoyable dry white wine. It's redolent of pears, chamomile, and white flowers. It's always enjoyable with light meats, but incredibly well-suited for fish as well. Filippo Gallino winery was the first winery in Piedmont to make a 100% varietal Arneis wine in 1972. From Arneis vines grown on tufo soils. Unoaked.

Staff Pick Notes

Can you imagine a world without Arneis?Neither can I. This wonderful Piedmontese grape was brought back from the edge of extinction by dedicated winemakers, notably the late Alfredo Currado, and now there are more than 1500 acres of vines planted in Piedmont. I also can't imagine surviving summer without many bottles of this particular Roero Arneis by Filippo Gallino. This winery is credited with producing the first 100% Arneis in Piedmont in 1972, forethought at its best. Now we can all enjoy this Arneis' characteristic pear and almond flavors and quench our thirst on the hottest days.

It’s redolent of pears, chamomile, and white flowers, all of which complement the complex flavors of the grill.

They are typically dry and...
