Piedmont
These wines are produced from the ancient Arneis grape grown in the hills north of Alba. Formerly a vino da tavola, the high price and reputation of these wines ensured they would eventually become part of the Roero DOC. The best are amazingly rich and full-flavored white wines, yet soft and deftly balanced with a fine frizzantino. Essentially dry wines, some renditions are, however, less dry than others and Deltetto’s Bric Tupin has started a trend for a lusciously sweet style. See Roero DOC.
