"What a powerful, exciting, and complex wine! One might expect that with such intensity, patience would be required. Yet, surprisingly, the wine is already accessible and delightful to savor. Its strength is present but not overwhelming, demonstrating an exceptional balance. The aroma is intricate, weaving notes of tobacco, earth, and a bounty of red fruits. Acidity is almost absent, only subtly appearing towards the finish, hinting at the wine's potential to mature gracefully over the next 15 to 30 years. Indulge yourself by opening a bottle now – it's a decision you won't regret!"

Retail 25€, Restaurant 38€. My son and I just arrived in Como, on the banks of the eponymous lake after a week in France and Switzerland. The six hour train from Lyon was long and essentially devoid of any decent food so we were hungry. I found a quaint place not far from the lake and ordered this as I am a fan of the grape and region (does Arneis exist outside of Piedmont? Good question). We started with some Iberico ham. Holy mother of Jesus. Then Linguine Carbonara—the first of the trip that rivals my own, and then a caprese. Whoa. The wine? Fantastic. Light to medium straw in the glass with lemon, yes, but also green apple and some earth, curiously. The palate is tart, even bracing, with a good balance of fruit and minerality. The fruit never quite catches up to the acid, but this is a delight. Excellent. 92 Points.
