Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in Piedmont scores above average to excellent (89 points) according to the Robert Parker Vintage Chart. The wines from this vintage are still characterized as youthful and very much in development.

For this white wine, we travel to Canale, in the heart of the Roero region, nestled amidst the hills of Cornarea. There, the eponymous Cornarea winery is located, now boasting fifteen hectares of vineyards. It's still a completely family-owned winery, currently led by Piero and Francesca. They were the ones who replanted the Arneis grape, which had become extinct throughout the Roero region. This has paid off handsomely, as the wines were stunning, a fact they are proud of at Cornarea. Meanwhile, the sons are also active in the winery, and thankfully, they intend to take over from their parents someday. Gian Nicola and Pierfranco are pursuing the goal of preserving Cornarea traditions and producing the highest possible quality wine.

The old Arneis vineyard of Cornarea

The renowned Cornarea vineyard, home to the Arneis grape, in Roero was planted between 1975 and 1977. This now mature vineyard produces truly magnificent harvests. The soil in which the vines grow is rich in clay, magnesium, and gravel, allowing the plants to gain sufficient strength. The climate for the Arneis grape in Roero is perfect, partly due to its high altitude. Situated at an altitude of 280 meters, the vineyard enjoys abundant sunshine but also cool temperatures. This mix of temperatures is crucial for the harvest, preserving the grapes' fresh acidity.

Full and very powerful this Cornarea Roero Arneis

When the Arneis grapes are ripe, they are harvested by hand in the early morning. Only the finest bunches are picked and processed into this beautiful white wine from Cornarea. But before that, the wine is aged for several months on its lees in the Cornarea cellars. It builds strength and finesse, making it a true gem in the glass. The nose reveals soft aromas of white blossom, pear, pineapple, and passion fruit. These aromas are also clearly present in the taste. The attack of this Cornarea Roero Arneis is full, creamy, and harmonious. The finish is rich and exceptionally refreshing. A unique wine!
