Specific Origin: Langhe Hills, Piedmont, Italy.

Vintage: 2024 (A vintage characterized by extraordinary aromatic clarity and immaculate acidic balance).

Varietal Composition: 100% Arneis (Traditional indigenous Piedmontese white grape).

Fermentation is carried out entirely in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures to prevent oxidation of primary aromas. It remains on fine lees in the tank for a few months before stabilization and quick bottling.

Alcohol Content: 13.0% Vol. (Perfectly integrated, providing agility and lightness).

SKU: ITA-DAMILANO-GD-ARNEIS-2024-750

Appearance: Presents a beautiful pale straw yellow color with clean and crisp greenish reflections of great brilliance. Shows agile and crystalline movement in the glass.

Nose: Intensely fresh, fine, and captivating aromatic impact. Marked notes of crisp white fruit like water pear, green apple, and subtle hints of white peach stand out. Immediately, an elegant floral bouquet of orange blossom, chamomile, and acacia unfolds, enveloped by a classic background of fresh almond and chalky hints evoking wet stone.

Palate: Its entry is extremely clean, direct, and with sensational vivacity. On the mid-palate, it is dry and vertical, supported by a crisp citrus acidity that provides dynamism. A subtle mineral salinity unfolds, broadening the palate and making it extremely flavorful. The finish is clean, refreshing, and very elegant, ending with a subtly almondy aftertaste.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Thanks to its impeccable continental freshness and mineral tension, Damilano G.D. Arneis 2024 is an extraordinarily gastronomic wine. It is the undisputed ideal partner for fresh, raw seafood: natural oysters, live clams, octopus carpaccios, and white fish sashimis. It harmonizes excellently with fennel salads, fine Italian pastas with pesto sauce, asparagus risottos, and grilled lean fish cooked with fine herbs. It combines magnificently with fresh goat cheeses or stretched-curd cheeses like burrata with heirloom tomatoes. In avant-garde Mexican cuisine, it creates superb accords with green aguachiles, white fish ceviches with mango, Ensenada-style seafood tacos, and light corn tamales.

What is the optimal serving temperature for Damilano G.D. Arneis 2024 White Wine?

To fully enhance its brilliant citrus acidity and delicate floral nuances without dulling its enological expression, it is advisable to serve it well chilled, at an ideal range of 8°C to 10°C. It is suggested to keep it in an ice bucket with water while consuming it at the table.

Does this white wine from D.O.C. Langhe have aging potential in the bottle?

The G.D. Langhe Arneis 2024 is designed with an emphatic focus on freshness, youth, and the primary vibrancy of the fruit. Although it will maintain its virtues intact for the next 2 to 3 years when stored in optimal conditions, it is recommended to consume it in its youth to enjoy the full crispness of its mineral tension.

What does the term 'white Barolo' historically associated with the Arneis grape refer to?

It was called this because it shares the same central Piedmont geographical region as the great Barolo reds. Furthermore, Arneis is a difficult grape to cultivate in the vineyard and very demanding in the winery; requiring the same standards of extreme rigor as the Nebbiolo grape, it earned that honorary title of aristocratic distinction.

Does this white wine undergo oak barrel aging?

No. True to Damilano's 2024 vintage philosophy for this varietal, the wine is made 100% in stainless steel tanks. This ensures that the wood does not alter the refreshing profile, the distinctly floral character, and the persistent chalky, saline finish original to the terroir.
