Barbaresco superstars Montaribaldi fashion this superb, aromatic Arneis from vineyards on the sandy soils of Piedmont’s Roero district. A lovely, radiant lemon-gold in the glass, Montaribaldi’s fresh, zesty 2018 Arneis casts high-toned aromas of crushed lemongrass, tart Comice pears, green pineapple, and freshly-cut fennel. Brisk and invigorating on the palate, suggestions of tangerine, green apple skin, and slivered almonds are buoyed by citric acidity, savory mineral notes, and impressions of preserved lemon, white pepper, and ginger. Arneis is rarely inexpensive; thankfully, this direct import selection from Montaribaldi delivers all the freshness, deliciousness and complexity we so love in Piedmont’s inimitable Arneis varietal at a most comfortable price. Pair now and over the coming year with delicate white-fleshed fish preparations, light pastas, squashes, and vegetarian risottos.
