♦ Angelo Negro, Serra Lupini, Roero Arneis (2015)Arneis is a white grape found in Piedmont of northern Italy, which literally translates to “little rascal” due to difficulty to grow. A dry, white with aromatics of peach, pear and hints of white flowers on the nose. It is crisp and refreshing with a me-dium body and well balanced acidity. This easy-drinking white is the perfect partner to a picnic in the park or a party on the rooftops of Chicago. When it comes to food, keep it light, nothing better than lightly grilled calamari tossed with fresh peaches, apricots, and arugula in an Italian vinaigrette.
