Italian Wine Adventure #13: Arneis! (A hidden white wine gem from Piedmont, for Chardonnay lovers?)

The Wine Pair Podcast

Known as “little rascal” in the local Piemontese dialect, this unique Italian white wine is elegant, rich, and flavorful. We usually prefer our white wines to be crisp and acidic, but we really enjoyed this rounder wine, and we think that Chardonnay lovers may find this to be a good option. In this episode we explore just exactly what Arneis is, and we found two nice Arneis wines worth seeking out that won’t put a dent in your pocketbook. We also talk about the number 13 being lucky in Italy, and how the United States once tried to move to the metric system in the 70’s. We also talk about the “evil eye” in Italian and why Joe is sweaty - look, you just have to listen in to find out why these things even come up. It’s too hard to explain here. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2022 Cantine Elvio Tintero Langhe Arneis, 2023 Luca Bosio Langhe Arneis
