Ceretto was among the first famous Barolo houses to recognize the potential of the local Arneis variety, and their rendition remains among the best of the breed. To be fair, smaller and lesser-known growers of Arneis in the appellation of Roero produce wines that are every bit as good, but this will be easier to find, and the 2022 vintage is very fine (thanks in part wise use of a screwcap closure). Arneis from better producers is often better two or three years after the vintage, and this wine is a case in point. Very subtle floral notes get this off to an appealing start, and the fruit flavors remind me of newly ripe peaches (though this could be because I happen to know that Roero grows famously great peaches—ones that are so good that they threaten vineyards now planted to Arneis or Nebbiolo). 
Rated 92/100 Michael Franz, The Wine Review Online
This is fresh and floral with notes of lemons, pears, chamomile, jasmine and chalk. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and vivid, citrusy character. Flavorful finish. Drink now.

About the grape:
Arneis is a white grape variety native to Piedmont, Italy, particularly the Roero and Langhe regions. Known for producing aromatic, medium-bodied, dry white wines with flavors of pear, peach, citrus, almond, and floral notes, Arneis can also show minerality and subtle herbal tones. The name “Arneis” roughly means “little rascal” in the local dialect—reflecting its reputation as a challenging grape to grow due to its low acidity and susceptibility to disease.

Fresh and lemony, this white is medium-bodied, showing aromas of peach, lemon and pear. Linear and refreshing.
Rated 90/100 James Suckling
The 2023 La Scolca White Label Gavi showcases the elegance and precision that have made this estate a benchmark for Cortese in the heart of Piedmont. Sourced from vineyards in Rovereto—the “Grand Cru of Gavi”—this wine offers a crystalline, bone-dry profile with vibrant citrus, green apple, and pear layered over delicate floral and anise notes. A streak of minerality and bright acidity gives it a refreshing lift, making it a versatile partner for seafood, light pastas, and fresh salads. Crafted in the classic La Scolca style, it’s a refined expression of Italian white wine tradition, perfect for those who appreciate crisp, sophisticated flavors.

San Marzano ‘Edda’ Bianco is straw yellow in colour with golden reflections. On the nose, ripe peach, smooth vanilla and floral notes perfectly balance the fresh lime, mint and herbal complexity. The palate is generous and full of elegance, freshness and minerality. This wine is beautifully rounded with an exceptional well-balanced palate.
