Ponzi Arneis

Ponzi Arneis Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: "Notes of citrus blossom and almond in the nose lead to a refreshingly crisp and brisk palate of marmalade and honeysuckle finishing with the perfect balance of acid and sweetness." —Luisa Ponzi

Varietal Definition
Arneis:
Minor grape grown in Piedmont region of Italy. Used to make an aromatic white wine - (e.g: "Roero Arneis", "Langhe Arneis") - lacking sufficient acidity, when fully ripened, to age well . Some regard it as reminiscent of wines made from the french Viognier grape grown in the northern Rhone region. Others find Pinot Gris of the U.S. west coast, similarities in the fruity flavor of the wine when made in the style of "Tokay d'Alsace".
