The 2010 Arneis shows terrific intensity in this vintage. Sweet floral notes wrap around the fruit from start to finish in this engaging Arneis. The 2010 impresses for its textural depth and fine overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.
Unfortunately I was only able to taste a small selection of wines from Vietti for this article. I will report on the estate’s new Barbera and Barbaresco releases in my next Piedmont article, scheduled for February 2012.
