We consider ourselves Arneis snobs (if such a thing were actually possible). But we get to taste so many, and there have gotten to be so many that are so, well, average, out there. It’s wonderful to taste the best, though, and Correggia’s has been one of the benchmarks for the varieties since the late Matteo Correggia decided to concentrate on bottling a dry, sophisticated Arneis now thirty-five years ago. 

We first tasted this 2022 with Matteo’s son, Giovanni, on a sunny patio overlooking the Alps surrounded by great friends, and it couldn’t have been a better wine at a better time! Light, fresh and crisp, there is still a solid underpinning of serious minerality and oomph lurking underneath. Trying it again recently (under more clinical conditions) I can say that the Correggia Arneis truly belongs on the short list of the best of the bunch. On the lighter, fresher side of the Arneis flavor and texture spectrum, yes, this is the ultimate flexible, food-friendly and really delicious northern Italian white! And, while some wineries are already packing and shipping their 2025s, this is a wonderfully rounded and mature 2022. My wife says we have to get a case. You should too! 

Serving suggestion (as tested in the backyard of the Rittmasters): make a salad of fresh crisp chopped celery and celery leaves, mix in a handful of fresh tarragon and small bites of a slightly salty-tangy fresh cheese like feta or ricotta salata. Dress with fresh lemon juice, good olive oil and a bit of salt. Easy, fresh, fun and very Roero.
