Arneis is Piedmont’s great northern white grape, long forgotten before being rescued by Bruno Giacosa and Vietti in the 1970s. In the Langhe, on clay-limestone soils less favoured than the Roero, it produces dry whites of freshness and delicacy typical of Piedmont, lighter than its Roero DOCG cousin.
