2024 Giovanni Almondo Bricco delle Ciliegie Roero Arneis
“Bricco delle Ciliegie is one of the great whites of Italy... I never miss a chance to drink [it], nor should you." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Fresh flower shop and a slight nuttiness on the nose, followed by an absolute explosion of flavors on the palate: citrus (lemon, red grapefruit) and tropical fruits mingle perfectly with white stone fruit notes (peach, nectarine) and even pear. The finish is relentlessly long, with a backbone of outstanding minerality and perfectly aligned - and grossly invigorating - acidity.
