The 2023 Rocche Costamagna Arneis DOC is a refined and expressive white wine from Piedmont, crafted from 100% Arneis, a native grape known for its elegance and aromatic complexity. Grown in the Roero hills, it reflects the region’s sandy soils and cool microclimate, resulting in a fresh yet textured style. The nose is delicate and fragrant, offering notes of pear, white peach and citrus, complemented by hints of almond, white flowers and a subtle herbal nuance.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Orchard fruit and citrus flavors are balanced by a gentle minerality, leading to a clean, refreshing and slightly nutty finish typical of Arneis. The style is elegant and approachable, with a focus on freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to Piedmont whites and perfect for customers looking for something crisp but not too sharp. It’s versatile, food-friendly and easy to enjoy. Drink now while fresh. Ideal with seafood, light pasta, salads or as an aperitif.
