Not part of the in-crowd since 2005!

Pizzini Arneis 2005 ($23)

No likes being out on their own at a blind tasting – but despite the rest of the panel’s indifference, I found the Pizzini Arneis to be one charming white: a darling drop and incredibly easy to like. It smells fresh and lively with aromas of apples and pears with a bright floral lift. If I had to pick a scent to describe a brisk morning in spring, this would be pretty close. As a drink, this is juicy, apple-y and succulent with a scrummy tart finish to boot. Certainly sitting on the lighter side of the fence, this would be the perfect drop to take along to a casual Sunday get-together with friends. And if there’s a spread of honest Mediterranean style cuisine on offer… well more’s the better. www.pizzini.com.au
