WINE TALK

My new Prima/IlConsorzio shipment arrived ystrday, so cracked last night:

  1. Giacosa Fratelli Dd’OCG: Roero Arneis (13%; GeoVino/Sausalito) Giacosa Fratelli/Neive 2022: Med.gold color; very attractive Arneis/floral/gardenias/dandelions bit spicy/appley some mineral/chalky/bit earthy rather perfumed nose; fairly tart/tangy/slight metallic fairly floral/Arneis/gardenias/dandelions/appley some savory/saline bit metallic/mineral somewhat rich/lush flavor; very long strong Arneis/floral finish that follows flavor; quite a lovely expression of Arneis w/ lots of aromatics & good richness/body/texture; a real steal at $20.00 (Prima/IlConsorzio)

More piggigrot from TheBloodyPulpit:

  1. Really impressed by this month’s IlConsorzio Arneis selection. Classic Arneis aromatics w/ a richness/texture you do’t usually get in Roero Arneis. I’m going back for more.

Had some with cacciucco in Ristorante Ornellaia, Zürich, this past late November. Lovely stuff.

One of my year in/year outs. Haven’t had the ‘22 yet. Thanks for the heads up!

Different producer though. To be honest seeing the title I was thinking Bruno Giacosa too, another fan here.

Oh, right. Didn’t notice. Actually, I wasn’t aware there was another Giacosa producer of Roero arneis.

In my experience, Giacosa Arneis is always a top wine, even justifying its higher price than every other Arneis. Though higher from a percentage standpoint, on an absolute basis it’s not that many extra dollars. A perennial.
