Piedmont (Piemonte)

Great showing for this wine.  At age 12, it is drinking beautifully.  Garnet in color, clear and bright.  The nose is very pretty with cherries, anise, slight mint and slight floral notes.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Nice acidity.  On the palate, this is at or close to peak with layers of cherries, earthiness, spice and slight tobacco.  Some mint on the long finish.  This should drink nicely for another ten years.  Better with food.  A nice choice for Pasta in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce.  

Consistently, one of the best Arneis and a great value.  Light to medium gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is vibrant with green apples, almonds, and a touch of lemon peel.  Some minerality, too.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is tasty.  Not as crisp as the 2022 but more rounder edges.  Flavors of apples with some lemon and minerality.  Good finish.  This drinks easily on its own but will work nice with many foods.  It would work well with a Chestnut Agnolotti pasta dish.  Drink over the next few years.
