  Clean, stony - a bit heavy.

  Smells like summer. I always enjoy the Arneis from Giacossa and Vietti and should be buying a few more. Love the intensity, energy, and brightness.

  il gran finale del Barolo di compleanno (Osteria Langhe, Chicago IL): This was a real contrast to the champagne and was a perfect palate cleanser before the Nebbiolos. There is a real lively and fresh quality to the nose with tones of limes, lemon peels, green apples, white flowers, saline, crushed rocks, and some white fruits. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and on the leaner/lighter side with racy, high acidity. This is a fun and fresh Arneis that plays more in the white-fruited realm, though it lacks some depth.

  A dry, tantalizing wine that is quite good, but not special. Pours to a light straw color with an ever so light tinge of green. Subdued nose but expressive notes on the palate - with hints of green apples, lemon, less than ripe melon, touch of butter, and riverbed stones. Medium+ bodied goodness, high acidity, and ends in a long finish. It is my first time trying the Arneis grape varietal from the area of Roero. It is has a feel that is not dissimilar to a Sauv Blac without the range of flavors of the latter. Quite dry to be drunk by itself, but pairs well with seafood and poultry. I had it with a chicken liver pasta dish that it complemented well. JS 92 pts are generous, but one invariably has to deduct 3 points from that stable, and then it sits better with consensus. For the sub $25 range, there are so many delicious white wine options, I would find it hard to go back to this wine for the sake of novelty of the grape varietal, which I think is what it primarily offers.
