Bruno Giacosa, arguably Barolo’s most famous producer, also makes this engaging Arneis from across the Tanaro River in Roero. The intriguing combination of delicate aromas of minerals mixed with white flowers draws you in. Minerals, rather than an overt fruitiness, appear and persist on the palate. A citrus-like spark in the finish makes this light to mid-weight white perfect when it’s sweltering outside. Despite its lightweight profile, it has plenty of oomph to cut through a calamari salad or spaghetti carbonara.
