Vietti, Roero, Arneis

More than 2 years since I had this particular vintage and this bottle showed well, better than the previous one. Pale yellow colour. Forward yellow plum, gooseberry and lemon. Palate focused, balanced. Moderately long finish. Very enjoyable.

2016 vintage

Haven�t had one of these at 7 years old before. Still holding nicely, lean, mineral forward with good salinity. What a great example of Arneis. Glad to have this, looking forward to aging future Arneis for a while.

2018 vintage

More than 3 years since I had this particular vintage and I was afraid it may be over the hill. Pale yellow colour. Forward yellow plum, gooseberry and lemon with some grassy notes. More advanced than the recently tasted 2018, but still intriguing. Palate focused, balanced. Good finish. This may be slightly past its prime, but still very enjoyable.

2018 vintage

This was a very pleasant surprise. I typically drink this wine very young and was not sure what to expect at 5 years. Pale gold colour. More forward than I expected, with peach and yellow plum yet retaining some grassy, lemony notes in the background. Palate was almost sweet and beautifully balanced with acidity. I think I found the sweet spot where I like to drink this wine.

2018 vintage

Besides a sexy midsommer-esque label. This wine screams trendy but isn�t on the label judging everyday consumers horizon. With a body in between Chardonnay and States based Sauv Blanc this is a perfect porch pounder, glug chugging, simple supper that�s out there. Garlic, nutty, sunshine lemons and a hint of natural sweetness. Beautiful. Piedmont never lets me down. And vietti always proves to provide.

2018 vintage

L'appr�ciation diff�re de la pr�c�dente. Effet du temps ou d'un palais instable !?... Jaune mimosa assez dense. Nez expressif foin mouill� mais avec une pr�sence marqu�e d'aromes souffr�s, avec a�ration peut �tre qualifi� de pierre � fusil avec un peu d'indulgence... En bouche et en r�tro, des notes florales traversent les aromes souffr�s, girofl�es. Apr�s deux jours les notes souffr�s ont disparus pour laisser plus de place aux notes florales et d'agrumes, enrob�es de saveurs lact�es. Le vin gagnerait � …

2018 vintage

Nice white wine, slight floral and perfumy.

2018 vintage

Pale, clear. Crisp, green apple and citrus. Medium body.

2018 vintage

A terrific wine with swordfish salmoriglio sauce, best at 55 degrees, long finish, melons and citrus flavors. Would buy again.

2018 vintage

Off the list at Francesca�s ($55). Medium straw yellow color. Apple, quince, star fruit and dried honey notes. There�s something just a bit floral in there too...not quite honeysuckle but in that vein of familiarity. A bit more round and fruit-driven without the racy acid vein I�m expecting. Apple and spice elements on the palate. Finishes with nice length. 89+ for me, 90-91 for the birthday girl- Domino.

2018 vintage

Such a nice Roero Arneis. Great typicity, medium bodied and a long saline finish. It has opened a bit over the last year. If �Lip smacking gobs of lemon, grapefruit, mineral and salt� are your thing, then you�ll like this wine!

2018 vintage

Citrus and spice on nose. Tropical fruits and honey on palate. Great acidity.

2018 vintage

Really nice! I love Vietti Nebbiolos, but this is my first Arneis. Lemon-honeysuckle on the attack, followed by strong mineral, grapefruit peel bitterness, and then fanning out to honey-pineapple and wax. Medium+ acid and body, and the finish reminds me a lot of a Vouvray. Slightly jagged around the edges, and will probably benefit from short term aging to bring the elements together a bit more. 90+

2018 vintage

The color is a pale lemon. The nose has pineapple and white flowers. The palate has a definite salinity, which increases as the wine warms, and general flavors of citrus. The acid is balanced with a long finish. Alcohol 13%.

2018 vintage

Notes �crites quelques jours apr�s d�gustation. Apparence jaune dor�, densit� moyenne. Nez expressif, p�che blanche, fleur blanche, jasmin. Bouche ample, fruits � chaire blanche. abricot, min�ralit� structurante, bel �quilibre sucrosit�-acidit�. Bonne persistance. Un vin passe-partout en ap�ro ou � la table. Un coup de coeur, et un excellent rapport Q-P.

2018 vintage

A very pale yellow in color. The nose is subtle and has a light citrus component with floral notes of white flowers. The palate has a nice balance of flavors of lime and hints of grapefruit with acid and a medium finish. Good body, not a real light body, but not a heavyweight by any means. Very quaffable and pairs well with food. Doesn�t get a 90 because of a lack of complexity, but a truly excellent value. Alcohol 13%.

2018 vintage

Super sippable. Nice acid. Great on its own but would have been solid with some shellfish.

2018 vintage

Great weekday food wine with tons of acidity that pairs great with lots of cuisine.

2018 vintage

Lovely nose of white peach, lime, lemon, with flinty, white pepper, floral perfume tones. Zesty, focused, bright, with stony, chalky, mineral tones. Some nice honey and tea notes. Crushable and fun but showing solid complexity as well. Dynamic and evolved more on day two. I enjoyed this with some ramp pesto pasta and lemon pepper shrimp and all was well.

2018 vintage

Pale, light straw in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe citrus fruit aromas of lemons/limes, melon & some peach notes with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, stony, minerals & a touch of spritz in the background. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, crisp, ripe fruit flavors of lemons/limes, melon & sweet pears, stony, minerals & a hint of honey. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks well at present although it may develop further …

2018 vintage

White pulp fruits, lemon/lime curd, a hint of matchstick & sulfur, med acidity. Lacking in enough vibrancy & flavour depth to take it to the next level. Maybe this grape has its limits. 87-88.

2018 vintage

Consistent with the bottle of four months ago: Quite good, excellent freshness. Melon, citrus, white floral, mineral/soil, most of which carries to a nearly medium-bodied palate. Very light color that matches the transparency of the fruit's purity. Clean, with just the right texture, and finish. A winner. Great with salads, lighter fare, or as an aperitivo. 13,0% abv., drink thru 2022. recommended , and pretty much just as good on night two. https://www.ItalianWine.blog

2018 vintage

Dry and crisp, well rounded. Slight peach and honeysuckle. Lovely

2018 vintage

Initially, there is a moderately rich stone fruit attack that almost immediately morphs into a dry mouthful of river rocks, which then finishes with lime curd. The acidic finish lingers pleasantly for quite a while. It�s interesting, while the wine reads as predominantly lean on the palate, there is just enough ripe fleshiness on the attack and within the texture to keep the wine from being austere. Instead it presents a nicely balanced and persistent Roero Arneis.

2018 vintage

Always a solid wine and QPR. This Roero has the classic touch of Almond which I always find in northern Italian white wines (easy when performing blinding tasting), Aromas of jasmine, white flowers and white ripe peaches. The palate was bright and fresh with ripe orchard fruit, lemon oil, almond notes with a medium finish.

2018 vintage

It tastes like apple, banana and melon.

2018 vintage

Har kanske legat lite för länge. Inte helt ok.

2015 vintage

Drank over three days. Lime, gooseberry and mineral notes, quite forward by the third day. Palate’s balanced between fruit sweetness and the typical Arneis acidity; more viscosity that expected leading to a long balanced finish. I like this wine with some age on it.

2016 vintage

Very light yellow-green hue, near clear. Pear, green apple, crisp, clean, easy drinking wine, nicely balanced, slate, saline. No oak. Great wine for those avoiding oak and CA chardonnay. Very enjoyable and still drinking very nicely.

2016 vintage

Un blanc charpenté, clairement pour la table. Sur les fruits jaunes bien mûres, touche de miel et d'amande. Léger manque d'équilibre dû à l'alcool, satisfaisant mais un peu trop cher.

Straits Wines - Vietti Wine Tasting (La Brasserie, Fullerton Bay Hotel) : pale lemon; pronounced nose, acidic, light bodied, bit of alcohol burn, good length, with lime flower, rose, apple, peach, lemon, bit of carrot, morning dew, fresh grass, minerals, limestone; like how refreshing it is but could do with a bit less heat, highly recommended to chill

2016 vintage

Nose is a hint of oak or Crisp, tart acidity and minerality on early palate that rolls through with a citric acid, although a creamy but a stone note.

2016 vintage

Straits Wines - Wine Fiesta 2018; 10/20/2018-10/21/2018 (The Clifford Pier, Fullerton Bay Hotel) : pronounced nose of lime flowers; apple, straw, and bit of hops and grass...

2016 vintage

Quite good. This wine has bright lemon-lime acidity with a sense of salinity to boot. It's aromatically complex, showing peach and green herbs. I could see myself guessing grüner veltliner in a blind tasting. This would be great for pairing with foods -- a zesty salad perhaps?

2016 vintage

Summer in a glass. Bright, acid driven citrus and almond notes on the nose and palate, with just enough residual sugar to complement several savory seafood dishes (grilled octopus, risotto, Dover sole, branzino). Restaurant purchase. Served chilled just right. Will buy more.

2016 vintage

Oh come on...;its not make a big deal this, oak... Chill it and enjoy...

2016 vintage

On the nose there notes of citrus and grass, on the palate, I found notes of lemon, almond and secondary notes of vanilla and wet rocks, the finish had an almond bitter paste taste to it, alcohol tasted high. Drink now

2016 vintage

Citrus and green apple, with lovely acidity without being tart at all. Slightly bitter finish is a very nice touch. Great with food, especially BBQ chicken and salad that we had it with. (But, really, I saved it for drinking late into evenings.) 2nd to last bottle, and last one promised to DL.

2015 vintage

Crisp, citrusy, slight chalkiness in the background. Deliciously easy to drink!

2016 vintage

Similar to previous bottles but I noticed some lime this time. I need to reload on these.

2016 vintage

Good wine. It smells more like plumper Rhone varietals than steelier varietals like chardonnay, riesling, and sauvignon blanc. It offers aromas of yellow flowers, almonds, and pears. It is fairly big in body but has a persistent lemon note. The finish, like so many Italian white wines, has a distinct bitterness.

2016 vintage

Possibly spritz-y on opening. Predominantly lemon front the start, with a nice roasted green pear finish. Touch of salinity. Good wine though a bit too much acid for my tastes. Love the crazy vine hair label that an American producer would feel is too creepy.

2016 vintage

Floral nose with notes of minerals and citrus. Very nice acidity with saline notes on the palate followed by meyer lemon. Nice finish. Although I wasn’t able to compare side by side, I think this wine is better than the 2016 Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis I had twice in the last couple of weeks. Fantastic QPR! 91-92

2016 vintage

13.5% - Clear, med to light lemon / clean, med intensity - pear, citrus custard, quince, honeysuckle, dried herbs (basil?) / dry, med+ bright acidity, med body, med intensity, med+ finish, nice mouth coating texture. Great food companion!

2016 vintage

Very attractive and deep, structured. Medium body. Salty lemons developing into pears and refreshing sour green apples, with touch of honeyed aroma, light spice. Great balance. Clean. Very tasty.

2016 vintage

Weekly tasting group RWP #281: 4 whites + 9 reds fully blind (@ BS) : Flowers and white fruits in the bouquet. On the palate pear, apricots, mint, a bit salty, candy flavors, some minerals and a firm amount of good and fresh acidity.

2016 vintage

Very fresh and light, zippy acidity. Not a very serious wine but very clean and energetic, went well with squid salad, ready now.

2016 vintage

Coravin 3/22/18. Greenish-yellow pale color; nose is aromatic, minerals, citrus fruit; palate is medium bodied, dry, medium to medium-plus acidity, waxy lemon, medium alcohol but shows a tad bit of heat (13.5%); medium finish. Fresh, interesting, a value at the price, but I might still prefer some other whites at not that much more (Vouvray, etc). 87-88 Retaste with the rest of the bottle: Very similar to when first opened. Nice, fresh, minerally white, but a step down in complexity …
