We're huge fans of quirky wines that are found off the beaten path in places like Piedmont, Italy, the land of two heavyweights Barolo & Barbaresco. Italy's preeminent wine region, Piedmont places a singular focus on the Nebbiolo grape, but in the hills of Roero, a grape that was almost extinct has made an amazing comeback. Arneis is the signature white wine of the region, made famous by the two heavyweight houses of Vietti and Bruno Giacosa. It's a grape and a style that few have ever heard of, mostly because the wines don't get much press or attention from critics, importers or retailers. A shame, because a great Arneis is very charming and a perfect pairing for food. The balance of delicate aromatics and crisp refreshing flavors are off the charts. Lively floral notes of white peach and citrus, Pelassa's San Vito is an ideal companion to the antipasti of the day. While you might not be on the dusty roads of rural Italy, this crowd pleasing and versatile white is an excellent alternative to your typical Pinot Grigio.
"Fresh white with chopped apples, lemons and grapefruit pith. Hints of chamomile. Bright and crisp with a medium body and fruity finish. Drink now." James Suckling, 90 Points
