The estate’s 2009 Roero Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie shows more minerality, clarity and detail than the Vigne Sparse, but it, too, is a touch richer and deeper than is normally the case. Year in, year out the Bricco delle Ciliegie is one of the finest Arneis readers will come across. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. Almondo is an excellent source for varietally true, expressive wines from Roero. The red Roeros are particularly impressive this year. Importer: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644
