Dezzani Roero Arneis Monfrigio (2007) Piemonte




Roero Arneis, a Piedmont native, is definitely a Italian varietal to try. Becoming increasingly available, its a versatile white that is great on its own or with food. The 2007 Dezzani Monfrigio is 100% Arneis that is grown in the Monfrigio vineyard, located in the Roero DOCG on the left side of the river Tanaro in Piedmont. A darker than usual straw-yellow color. Nice pear and tree fruit nose. Bright acidity. Soft, smooth texture. Priced for everyday drinking.
