Arneis
Arneis is one of the most important Italian White Grape varieties in Piemonte. Its nickname is Nebbiolo Bianco.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy to grow and for this reason, it was nearly extinct half a century ago. Luckily some stubborn producers brought it back to life and make it famous again in the 80s. It needs some tender loving care especially during harvest time.
