Region: Diano d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy (Langhe Arneis DOC)
Grapes: 100% Arneis
Body: Light to medium
Notes: Delicate and aromatic. White peach, pear blossom, fresh almond, chamomile, and a clean, slightly bitter finish with lovely mineral length. Piedmont's most charming white, done right.
Pairing: Vitello tonnato, grilled fish, risotto bianco, fresh cheeses, or light antipasti.
Brangero Arneis "Centofile" is the white counterpart to Marco Brangero's celebrated Nebbiolo program — a pure expression of Arneis, the indigenous Piedmontese white variety whose name translates to "little rascal" in the local dialect, a nod to its historically difficult and unpredictable nature in the vineyard. In the right hands — as Marco proves here — Arneis is one of northern Italy's most elegant and distinctive whites: floral, textural, and refreshingly bitter on the finish in the best possible way. "Centofile" — one hundred rows — is sourced from Marco's organically farmed Arneis vines in Diano d'Alba, fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural freshness, and bottled without fining or filtration. A benchmark expression of Piedmontese white wine from one of the region's most underappreciated producers.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
