Vintage Character The warm and dry 2022 vintage in the Roero DOCG yielded an exceptionally expressive and concentrated iteration of the Vietti Roero Arneis DOCG. A scorching summer restricted grape yields but intensified the fruit's aromatic compounds, requiring careful harvest timing to preserve its essential freshness. The vines thrive in steep hillside vineyards composed of sandy, clay-limestone soils rich in prehistoric marine fossils, which impart a signature saline minerality to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Earning a highly respectable 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this classic white wine opens with intense aromas of white peach, melon, and citrus blossom. On the palate, it delivers a medium-bodied, remarkably fresh texture defined by crisp acidity, clean mineral undertones, and a subtle, dry almond finish. Pair this energetic white with traditional Piedmontese vitello tonnato, grilled branzino, or vegetable tempura.
Winery Background Based in Castiglione Falletto, the historic Vietti estate famously rescued the indigenous Arneis grape from extinction in the late 1960s. Their modern winemaking philosophy preserves this heritage through temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and brief aging on the fine lees without malolactic conversion. This minimalist approach ensures the wine remains a world-class benchmark of varietal purity, offering an authentic expression of the Roero terroir.
