Almondo’s 2006 Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie offers expressive aromatics that float from the glass followed by wonderfully fresh, focused white peaches and minerals. This textbook Arneis reveals superb length as well as detail, with clean, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2008.
Almondo is one of my favorite producers in Roero. In particular, his Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie and Roero Bric Valdiana are typically among the finest wines in the region.
