Arneis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arneis is a white wine grape variety originating from Piedmont, Italy. Arneis (literally: little rascal, in Piedmontese) is so called because it is regarded as a somewhat difficult variety to grow. It is a crisp and floral varietal, and has been grown since the 15th century. The white wines made from the Arneis grape tend to be dry, vibrant and full body with notes of pears and apricots. Produced in the hills of the Roero, northwest of Alba[1].
