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.

They are typically dry and...
