Castello di Neive Montebertotto Langhe Arneis 2023 750ml

Fresh with an elegant characteristic nose. Fresh and dry on the palate with a hint of almond on the finish. Winery notes

The story of Castello di Neive Arneis is a love story. In the mid 70’s, Italo Stupino, a producer of magnificent red wines, decided to produce a white wine for his wife that did not like red wines.
The chosen grape was Arneis. With the help of Professor Eynard, Italo Stupino began researching with 20 different clones of what local farmers called "Arneis."
The experimentation started in Italo’s Montebertotto vineyard and after 3 years, in 1981, the clones that gave the best results were selected and identified as CN15, CN19 and CN32.

Today, 1000 hectares of this grape are planted in Piemonte. 80% of those vineyards are still planted with the original clones selected at Montebertotto making Italo Stupino the de facto Godfather of Arneis!

(Vintage 2022) Audrey Frick writes:  A brilliant pale silver straw, with white peach, basil, and dusty earth, the 2022 Langhe Arneis is medium-bodied, with a lifted and fresh application of citrus pith, white flowers, and fresh herbs. A lovely aperitif as well and perfect for pairing, this charming wine would go well with crunchy spring vegetables. Drink 2023-2027.  - Jeb Dunnuck
