Here's another delightfully fresh and easy-drinking Arneis to add to the region's growing collection. The Damilano 2021 Langhe Arneis (with 50,000 bottles made) is luminous and bright with plenty of citrus, white flower and honeydew melon. I can imagine a happy pairing with grilled shrimp in a Thai coconut sauce.

The Damilano 2020 Langhe Arneis is grassy, citrusy and incredibly fresh overall. This is the kind of wine you'll want for a salad lunch on the terrace. There are aromas of lemongrass and green papaya that follow to sweet tones of white peach and honeysuckle. This is a simple but well-made white that offers plenty to enjoy. An ample 50,000 bottles were produced.

This wine is packaged in one of those beautifully transparent bottles that somehow evokes a beach vacation near the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean. The Damilano 2019 Langhe Arneis opens to a crystalline light golden color and vibrant aromas of white grapefruit, citrus and passion fruit. The wine puts zest, freshness and summer beach dreams in the top billing. Fruit comes from the sandy soils of Vezza d'Alba, and winemaking only sees stainless steel. There are some subtle mineral tones on the close: a nice, zippy accompaniment to a Dominican dish of fried red snapper and plantains. An ample 50,000 bottles were made.

The 2018 Langhe Arneis is zesty and bright with a very carefree and easy style. It delivers notes of lemon rind and honeydew melon. This is a simple, refreshing white that, properly chilled, could be a great match for raw oysters on the half-shell with a zippy tangerine vinaigrette. Production is ample with 50,000 bottles made.

This wine offers that snappy and zesty Arneis touch, but it also has a sweet side that I do not like as much. The 2017 Langhe Arneis comes close to feeling cloying or heavy. This was a hot vintage, and the fruit is slightly overripe in my opinion. Some 40,000 bottles were released.
