Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis

Roero Arneis DOCG, Piemonte, Italy

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow color, with greenish reflections. The bouquet is intense with floral (such as acacia flowers) and fruity notes, such as peach and lemon. On the palate the flavor is fresh, it corresponds to the fruity and floral notes, a good sapidity characterizes the final profile, giving the wine length and persistence.

The 2024 season marked the return of significant rainfall following two years of low precipitation. From April through late June, weather conditions were defined by frequent rain and unseasonably mild temperatures. This helped replenish soil water reserves and encouraged vigorous vegetative growth across vineyard sites. Thanks to effective vineyard management, fungal diseases - typically a concern during wetter periods - were kept under control and did not impact vine health. July and August brought moderate, steady temperatures, supporting balanced grape development. A brief spell of rain in early September, just ahead of harvest, had no adverse effects on grape quality. Harvest began in the third week of September with Dolcetto d’Alba, followed by Arneis and Barbera d’Alba. It concluded in the first half of October with Nebbiolo. The late harvest allowed for optimal ripeness, particularly in well-exposed vineyards that were less affected by the vintage.

One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa's unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father's winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines.

    "Pouring a bright silver/yellow hue, the 2024 Roero Arneis is immediately appealing. Aromatically, it offers white peach, melon, chive, fresh basil, and wet stone. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and light on its feet, with a clean, refreshing feel that favors drinkability over weight. This is straightforward, well-made, and highly approachable while it remains fresh"

    "The 2023 Roero Arneis is a bright silver/yellow color, and the nose is fresh and savory, with notes of white peaches, melon rind, lemon oils, and light savory chive notes. Perfectly suited for pairing alongside crudo and vitello tonnato, this medium-bodied white is refreshing and spritely, with a touch of white pepper and a kiss of sweet fruit. It can be enjoyed over the next few years, but it’s so good now while it's fresh, there’s no need to wait."

    "The Bruno Giacosa 2023 Roero Arneis will be a smaller release due to fruit that was damaged during a hailstorm the first week of July. Nonetheless, this wine remains salty, mineral-driven and bright with citrus and white peach. It is executed in stainless steel only. Perhaps this vintage is a little thinner in terms of mouthfeel, but it draws to a close with lingering acidity. Bruna Giacosa recommends giving it a little oxygen before you drink it. This white wine is always a great value buy."

    "A fresh and crunchy white with light lemons, mangoes and bitter limes. It's medium- to full-bodied with lots of fruit. The hot growing season comes through, but it remains fresh at the end. Drink now."

    "The Giacosa family does a great job with its high-end wines and its entry-level products alike. The 2020 Roero Arneis is a great example of a wine that knocks out simplicity while maintaining a great sense of inner freshness and complexity. This was a great vintage for the popular Arneis white grape that shows a wide range of tropical perfumes with papaya, citrus and Williams pear. The wine also boasts rich inner fiber, good fruit weight and concentration. At this young stage, it is less defined by its inherent minerality and more defined by those exotic fruit tones. But you can expect the mineral tones to take on more importance a year or two from now."
