    What is Arneis?

    Arneis is the most important white grape of Piedmont, the region famous above all for red wines such as Barolo and Barbera. In the Piedmontese dialect the name means something like "little rascal", the grape is difficult to grow, prone to disease and quick to lose its acidity. Master it, however, and the reward is real: Arneis gives elegant, dry white wines with aromas of pear, white peach, almond and white blossom, a gentle roundness and a subtly bitter almond note in the finish.

    From near extinction to the pride of Piedmont

    By the 1960s Arneis had almost disappeared: only a few hectares remained, planted mostly among the Nebbiolo to distract the birds. Pioneers from the Roero hills brought the grape back in the seventies and eighties, and today Arneis is the white pride of Piedmont, still grown on a small scale, which makes it a genuine discovery for anyone looking beyond Pinot Grigio.

    Langhe Arneis and Roero Arneis: the difference

    Roero Arneis DOCGSandy soils of RoeroMore minerality and depthRisotto, white meat, soft cheeses

    Roero Arneis, from the sandy left bank of the Tanaro river, holds the highest classification (DOCG) and is considered the most refined expression. Langhe Arneis from the right bank is usually a touch suppler and fruitier, and often attractively priced.

    Serving Arneis

    Serve Arneis chilled at 8 to 10 degrees in a standard white wine glass. The wine is at its best young, within two to three years of the harvest, when fruit and freshness lead. Letting it warm slightly in the glass pays off: that is when the almond and blossom notes open up.

    What to eat with Arneis?

    Arneis is versatile at the table: the combination of freshness, gentle roundness and that typical almond note makes it more broadly usable than many other crisp whites. The classic pairing is vitello tonnato, like Arneis, a Piedmont speciality. Also excellent: grilled fish, shellfish, risotto with green asparagus, white meat and young cheeses.

    What about the shipping costs?

    Wine purchased via Onwine comes directly from the winery.
    All wineries pack the bottles themselves and hand them over to our shipping partner. Onwine works with boxes the size of 6 or 12 bottles.

    To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.

    The following shipping costs apply:

    • 6 bottles at the same winery: €6,-
    • 12+ bottles at the same winery: No shipping costs

    You can order from several wineries at the same time. The above shipping costs apply to each individual winery.
