Giovanni Almondo Roero Arneis 'Bricco delle Ciliegie' 2021

Domenico Almondo now heads this 15 hectare Roero based estate, producing traditional wines full of terroir-driven nature. Hailing from Piedmont’s Roero region, ‘Bricco delle Ciliegie’ comes to us from Giovanni Almondo, named after the vineyard from which it grows. Vines are deeply rooted into sandy, limestone oils, with fruit vinified in an 80/20 combination of steel and oak. This varietal Arneis depicts the insanely high potential for quality Roero whites, showing flavors of bright citrus, bitter almond, and juicy pear. The 2021 shows a straw yellow/green in the glass, with notes of jasmine, citrus, and apple. This light and bright bottle has loads of energetic acidity, a fresh and fruity character on the palate, with almond and saline undertones; a perfect aperitif wine or match for seafood and shellfish.
