Arneis or Nebbiolo Blanc. Aromatic but uncharacteristally high acid.

Serious. Full mid palate but precise acid all the way through.

Peach and apricot. Balanced on the acid side. Good to wake up the palate. :D

Super refreshing, but with a bit more going on than at first glance. Fennel bulb, a bit of petrol, and lots of apple with a stony finish.

With all the floral prettiness and tart fruit one expects from an Arneis, this 2012 was firm on the acid. Rigid would be a better word, I think. The acid cuts down the potential of this wine.
