Castello di Neive, Arneis Montebertotto, Langhe, Piedmont, Italy 2023

This wine from Castello di Nieve is 100% Arneis.

This Arneis is fresh with an elegant characteristic nose. Fresh and dry on the palate, layers of citrus and citrus peel coat the mouth before it finishes with a hint of almond. Castello di Nieve’s Arneis is perfect with appetizers, vegetables, fish, rice and pasta.

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.

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!
