Giacomo Fenocchio Arneis 2022

From the heart of Piedmont, Giacomo Fenocchio’s Arneis is grown in calcareous clay soils and vinified with a light touch. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its natural aromatic vibrancy, it rests briefly on fine lees to gain subtle texture. The result is a wine that balances freshness with a graceful savoury complexity.

Bouquet
Fragrant and pure, this Arneis opens with aromas of white pear, acacia blossom, fresh herbs and lemon peel. Delicate almond and fennel hints add intrigue to the bouquet.

Palate
Dry and elegant with crisp acidity and a soft, rounded texture. Notes of green pear, citrus, white peach and wild herbs glide across the palate, followed by a subtle nutty finish. It’s fresh, mineral-driven, and seriously moreish.

Food Pairing
A natural with antipasti, grilled zucchini, or soft cheeses like ricotta. Try it with snapper crudo, roast chicken with lemon and rosemary, or a Kiwi twist—pan-fried pāua with garlic butter. Light Asian cuisine like prawn dumplings or Vietnamese rice paper rolls also shine.

Cellaring
Delicious now and best enjoyed within 2–3 years for peak aromatics and energy.

Interesting Fact
Often called the “white Nebbiolo” for its noble Piedmont origins, Arneis was nearly extinct by the 1970s. Today, it’s having a renaissance, thanks to producers like Giacomo Fenocchio who’ve revived its potential with elegance and precision.
