Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis 2021 (750ML)

93 WA / 93 JS / 17 JR

The Bruno Giacosa 2021 Roero Arneis is an especially luminous and fresh white wine that is packed with tropical fruits and floral notes. There is great freshness, and the wine reveals an elegant mineral signature. Production was reduced in this vintage (with some 150,000 bottles created) and even more so in 2022 due to the heat. Fruit for this wine is purchased in the neighboring Roero appellation. Harvest took place on September 17th, and the wine fermented in stainless steel at 16 degrees Celsius, lasting 15 to 20 days. It remained in contact with the fine lees for three months.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

A richer and rounder-textured Arneis with medium to full body. Lemon and spicy pear. Some cooked apple, too. Really delicious this year. -James Suckling

Pale straw. Garden herbs and white fruit, just the tiniest suggestion of gooseberry, but for an Arneis this is pretty complex stuff. Pink grapefruit and peach with a lemony twist on a viscous finish.-Walter Speller, JancisRobinson
