The 2008 Roero Arneis Trinita presents a round, luxurious expression of ripe fruit with suggestions of mango, yellow peaches, mint and smoke. This soft, generous Arneis offers excellent length on the palate and should continue to drink well over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. This is an exceptional set of releases from Malvira, one of the leading producers in the Roero district. The estate excels with its Arneis and Roero bottlings, all of which are well worth discovering.Importers: Beverly Malen Imports Inc., Chicago, IL; tel.(773) 227-9463; Domace Vino, Shoreview, MN; tel.

This has plenty of character, from the paraffin, pear, almond and melon flavors to its oily texture and straw- and chamomile-filled finish. This is well-balanced, lingering on the finish. Drink now.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Roero Arneis Select to Add
