Excellent example of the Arneis grape. A strong competitor to the splendid Bruno Giacosa 2017 Arneis reviewed a couple of years back. On nose: fresh picked crabapples , chalk dust, and warmed stony minerals. On palate: all above notes amplified , with a whitbier hop bitterness( in a good way) Crenshaw melon, a ghost of meyer lemon, celery crispness, on a relatively full body ( 14% alcohol with no heat) . Decant this for 2 hours....more notes of sea salt, parsnip and tangerine emerge as it warms ...meant to be drunk young and fresh, the clean acidity may sustain it for 5 more years, but not beyond. Played well with Salmon and pasta salad.
