2008 Vietti Roero Arneis

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Monday, November 15, 2010 - Very bright white floral and stone fruit perfume gives way to a light toward medium body, very lively acids and a bit of a snappy finish. I wasn't sure what to expect (I'm used to drinking my Arneis in the town of Canale, for maximum freshness :P ), and walked away with pleasant but somewhat mixed feelings about the overall balance between fruit and acid. I can say that I appreciate Vietti's discipline in that he always tries to show the wine nature intended rather than some formulaic also-ran. At the end of the day, this made a decent food wine, but the overall tartness and acid imbalance kept me from truly enjoying it. Drink thru 2010.
