Region: Canelli, Piedmont, Italy (Vino d'Italia)
Grapes: Arneis, Favorita, and/or Cortese (indigenous Piedmontese white varieties)
Body: Light to medium
Notes: Delicate and wildly aromatic. White peach, acacia blossom, fresh almond, lemon zest, and a clean, mineral finish with a whisper of bitter herbs. Piedmont's most charming white.
Pairing: Light antipasti, fresh pasta with herbs, grilled fish, soft cheeses, or solo aperitivo drinking.
Vittorio Bera "Arcese" is produced by the Bera family at their small estate in Canelli, in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti zone in southern Piedmont — a family that has quietly become one of Italy's most revered natural wine producers. The Beras have farmed their hillside vineyards organically for generations, working with indigenous Piedmontese white varieties that rarely appear outside the region. Arcese is the family's dry white blend — a beautifully aromatic, mineral-driven wine fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and bottled without additions or filtration. The estate is perhaps best known internationally for its extraordinary Moscato d'Asti, but the dry whites like Arcese demonstrate just how much depth and character the Bera terroir holds across the spectrum. An under-the-radar gem that wine professionals reach for again and again.

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.
