The first written record referring to this variety appeared in a document dated 1478, in which reference is made to a vineyard planted with moscatelli and renexi (the archaic name for Arneis). Arneis is usually vinified to dryness, although some producers also make a sweet wine from semi-dried grapes. It is used in combination with other local varieties (Favorita, Cortese) as a base for sparkling wines. The name Arneis is derived from a dialect word which refers to an odd person or a child who never listens to his parents. In the old days, a row or two of this variety was often planted in red grape vineyards and its anomalous nature probably explains its name. This is a refreshing straw-yellow wine, with delicate apricot and greenapple notes on the nose and palate.
