2016 Vietti Roero Arneis

We have been drinking Arneis ever since we first had a glass of this, for us, unusual sounding wine, in the early 2000s in a restaurant in Rhode Island. We were happy when we found a 2009 Arneis made by Vietti that I blogged about in 2012. Not only was the wine delicious and a departure from Chardonnay, I learned that some consider Alfredo Currado to be the father of Arneis, saving this variety from extinction.
We drank this Arneis with parchment paper wrapped red snapper that my husband made. Notes of tropical fruit with no reductive aromas, flavors of stone fruit, honey and spice made for a great pairing with dinner.
