Q: What is the difference between Roero Arneis and Langhe Arneis?

Roero Arneis DOCG comes from the sandy soil north of the Tanaro and can also be aged as a Riserva — often somewhat more full-bodied. Langhe Arneis DOC is the broader designation of origin south of the river and is often stylistically fresher and lighter.

Arneis is a white grape variety from Piedmont that bears its name rightly – in Piedmontese, it means something like "little difficult one," because the vine is demanding to cultivate and needs a lot of attention. In the glass, it rewards you with an aromatic, elegant white wine: fruity like pear and peach, with a fine hint of almonds and white flowers, plus a pleasant, not-too-pronounced acidity.

Arneis is at home primarily in the Langhe and Roero, the hilly wine sites north and south of the Tanaro. After the variety almost disappeared in the 1970s, it is experiencing a remarkable renaissance today. At Vinoscout, you will find a small, hand-picked selection of Arneis wines – from accessible entry-level to characterful top wines.

Quick answers

What is Arneis and where does it come from?

Arneis is a white grape variety from Piedmont — more precisely from the hilly sites of the Langhe and the Roero on both sides of the Tanaro. The name means "little difficult one" in Piedmontese and alludes to the demanding nature of the vine in cultivation.

What does an Arneis taste like?

Typical aromas are pear and white peach, plus a fine almond note and white flowers. The acidity is pleasantly present but not dominant — this makes it accessible and versatile at the table.

What does Arneis pair well with at the table?

Good with light fish, seafood, and mild goat cheese. It also cuts a fine figure as an accompaniment to antipasti or light pasta dishes with vegetables — the restrained acidity does not interfere with fine aromas.

What is the difference between Roero Arneis and Langhe Arneis?

Roero Arneis DOCG comes from the sandy soil north of the Tanaro and can also be aged as a Riserva — often somewhat more full-bodied. Langhe Arneis DOC is the broader designation of origin south of the river and is often stylistically fresher and lighter.

How do I serve Arneis correctly?

Best chilled at 10–12 °C, in a medium-sized white wine glass. Served too cold, it loses its fruit and floral aromas — taking it out of the refrigerator shortly before pouring is sufficient.

Why was Arneis almost extinct and is it experiencing a renaissance today?

In the 1970s, Arneis was hardly grown in Piedmont anymore because it was considered economically unprofitable compared to Nebbiolo. Committed winemakers saved the variety — today it is a recognized ambassador of Piedmont with its own DOCG status in the Roero.

Arneis – the white character of Piedmont

Arneis is one of the most interesting white grape varieties in Italy – and for a long time, it was almost forgotten. Today, it is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance. The wines generally appear dry, medium-bodied, and aromatically restrained-elegant: fruity freshness, a subtle almond note, sometimes some blossom in the background. On the palate, they appear soft, with a pleasant texture and moderate acidity – not a loud, not an intrusive wine, but one that impresses with finesse.

Home: Piedmont, between Langhe and Roero

Arneis grows exclusively in Piedmont, especially in the hills of Roero – the left bank of the Tanaro – as well as in the Langhe. You will find both designations of origin in our assortment: Roero Arneis DOCG and Langhe Arneis DOC. The DOCG classification of Roero stands for particularly strict quality requirements.
