Arneis ‘ahr-nay-ss’ and Chardonnay ‘shar-dun-nay’

Arneis is an aromatic white grape variety native to Italy’s Piedmont region. It was

traditionally used to soften tannins and add complexity to Barolos when blended. Today, it

is mostly bottled alone or as part of a blend, like this wine. In the local dialect, its name

means ‘little rascal’, referring to the vine’s troublesome growth.

This wine features bright acidity, floral and fruity aromas, and a well-balanced minerality,

making it versatile and food-friendly. It pairs well with lighter proteins such as poultry, fish,

and seafood, especially dishes with citrus, sage, and thyme. It also complements risottos,

salads, fresh fruit, burrata, and mozzarella.

Raineri Winery is a boutique producer located in the heart of Piedmont, celebrated for its

commitment to crafting high-quality, terroir-driven wines. Raineri highlights traditional

winemaking techniques while incorporating modern methods to boost complexity and

elegance. The estate sources grapes from top vineyard sites, guaranteeing wines with
