Vietti's philosophy for this wine is to showcase the \"little rascal's\" (the local translation of \u003cem\u003eArneis\u003c\/em\u003e) vibrant and aromatic nature through meticulous winemaking that avoids oak to maintain purity. The 2023 vintage was crafted using grapes from 25-year-old vines grown in limestone marl soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage presents a brilliant pale straw yellow color with lively silvery reflections. The nose is highly aromatic and fresh, offering a complex bouquet of green melon, citrus blossoms, and white-fleshed fruits like pear, accented by hints of almond, chamomile, and wild mint. On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied with a spritely, \"crunchy\" acidity. It is characterized by its precise minerality, a saline \"wet stone\" grip, and a lingering finish that balances zesty citrus with subtle herbal notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is 100% Arneis, processed with a gentle cold maceration followed by a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. To preserve its \"sparkle\" and freshness, a small amount of natural CO2 is often reabsorbed during fermentation, and the wine is aged on its fine lees without malolactic fermentation. This 2023 release typically has an ABV of 13.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine's high acidity and aromatic profile make it an exceptionally versatile food partner:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperitif \u0026amp; Starters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal with light hors d'oeuvres, crudités, and the classic Piedmontese \u003cem\u003eVitello Tonnato\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeafood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs beautifully with grilled gilthead bream, seared scallops with herbs, or light shrimp risotto with peas and mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain Courses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent with simply prepared white meats (veal, pork, chicken), fresh summer pastas with pesto, or sage-stuffed pasta in a brown butter sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheese:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complements creamy and soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"300409 - International Cellars Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710485270615,"sku":"734636","price":47.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Vietti-Roero-Arneis-2023.jpg?v=1776540499","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/vietti-roero-arneis-2023","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
