Description:
Arneis originates from the Piedmonte region of Italy. Our grandfather, Edoardo Seghesio, emigrated from that same region in 1886. This rare grape's literal translation is "little rascal," due to the viticultural challenges it presents in the vineyard. For some time, we had the largest planting of Arneis in the country - all of 26 vines. Today, we have 5,000 vines (five acres) planted on our Keyhole Ranch.

Varietal Definition
Arneis:
Minor grape grown in Piedmont region of Italy. Used to make an aromatic white wine - (e.g: "Roero Arneis", "Langhe Arneis") - lacking sufficient acidity, when fully ripened, to age well . Some regard it as reminiscent of wines made from the french Viognier grape grown in the northern Rhone region. Others find Pinot Gris of the U.S. west coast, similarities in the fruity flavor of the wine when made in the style of "Tokay d'Alsace".
