  Drank this with scampi. Not a lot of new observations. This remains a very good value. Even at five years, it seems pretty fresh. Don't know how much I would reload, since I've had a bit of it already and it's getting on in years. But glad it's been a go-to value for a bit.

  Precise, pure, and classy. The wine features great acid, piercing minerality, and a persistent, terroir-driven finish. It paired delightfully with Asiago cheese.

  Wasn't even expecting to have wine and opened this up. I remain a big fan of whites from Italy, but Piedmont isn't usually where you go for them That said, this is the second Arneis I've had recently that was terrific. This was an inexpensive wine with rich fruit, not cloying but not austere as I often like my white wines. Round, a little like a Rias Baixas Albarino I had some years ago, but less floral. Hints of apple and lemon, a little herbaceousness. Should reload if I get a similar offer.
