Tre Donne Roero Arneis 2023Crisp, clean, and possessing the "weight without wood" the varietal is well known for, Tre Donne's Roero Arneis lives up to every expectation. With roots diving deep into tufo clay, the 35 year old vines yield a wide array of complex aromas and flavors from its prominent stone fruit and piercing minerality to more subtle layers of quince, mushroom, and lemon verbena. Sisters Rosanna, Daniela, and Antonella Lequio continue to impress with their mastery

the quality is fully evident:

Brunello is

filled with smells of sweet peas and amaranth

raspberry compote

and often at a price that’s peers simply cannot match

literally On Fire

and the price may be low

The end result is a gorgeous combination of freshness

blackberry and boysenberry flavors that stay well-defined

with something I can only describe as the scent of rain on stone

salt-scraped

the élevage contributing notes of toasted hazelnut
