As spring approaches I can't help, but want a dry white wine to celebrate the seasons. The 2010 Giacosa Fratelli Roero Arneis is produced in the northern Italy region of Piedmont. This wine is made from 100% Arneis (a grape native to the region) which means little rascal. This wine was sealed with a natural cork and has an alcohol content of 12.5%.
The Giacosa Fratelli is a bright yellow color. On the nose were aromas of orange blossom, white flower, mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, wet stone minerality, perfume, mint, key lime, and ruby red grapefruit. On the palate were hints of ripe lemon, mint leaf, navel orange, wet river stone, peach flower, apricot, lime rind, and fresh cut rosemary. This white wine finished crisp with ample acidity. Overall, a delicious wine to drink on the porch while embracing the changing of the seasons.
