Damilano Arneis 2018
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyDamilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo, dating back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating and producing wine from the grapes from his own vineyards. This comes from 20 year old vines, rooted in sand, and fermented and aged briefly in stainless, to hold freshness. Bright and vibrant in youth, this glides quince, herbal pear along a silken palate, amply buffered with lees and an oily texture reflective of the grape. Quite complete and mouthfulling, belying its welcome 13%. A fantastic food-friendly white, for anything from spring green salads, to fresh halibut, to bagna cauda.Tasted: 11 September 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
