About Arneis from Langhe:    A white wine from the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, particularly from the Langhe hills, the same area renowned for Barolo and Barbaresco. The name Arneis loosely translates to "little rascal," due to the grape's finicky nature in the vineyard.

Arneis is perfect for those who enjoy whites that are refined but approachable, with a softly textured, elegant character. It’s an ideal introduction to Italian whites beyond Pinot Grigio, and an excellent alternative for lovers of Chablis, Vermentino, or white Rhône blends.

About Fontanabianca:    At the Fontanabianca winery they have clear ideas: quality is closely related to the features of the soil in the region of Neive, where Aldo Pola with his family, have been carrying on their work, which the father Franco started in 1969. The tie with the hills which are cultivated with Barbaresco vines was sealed many years ago: the winery is located in the hamlet of Bordini, surrounded by vines which seem to disappear beyond the horizon. Ageing takes place in large oak barrels and the smaller barrique barrels are used for the wine maturation to preserve the taste of grapes in the wine: this is the motto of Fontanabianca.
