Arneis
"...bright acidity, fresh fruit and nutty depth. In short, it's an improvement on the [Piedmontese] original."
— The Oregonian
Arneis is a unique dry white wine that perfectly represents the Ponzi Family's commitment to innovation and discovery. Upon being introduced to Arneis during one of their many trips to visit the Currado Family of Italy's Vietti Winery, Dick and Nancy were delighted by the wine's lovely flavors and balance. They quickly returned to Oregon's Willamette Valley to plant their first Arneis in 1991 – and became one of just three Arneis producers in the United States.
The grapes are whole cluster pressed and cool fermented in stainless steel and French oak barrels, depending on the vintage.
