淡いレモン色。透明度が高く、酸の高さが高そうな印象。グラスに泡はついていない。粘度は外観の割に少し高い様に思える。
【香り】
香りの強さはさほど強くなく、むしろツンとしておらず落ち着いている。アロマティックな品種でできたワインではない様に感じる。主体になる香りは果実、ハーブでそこに少しミネラルの要素が兼ね備えられている。果実としてはすっきりとしたリンゴやグースベリー、ハーブとしてはミントやタイムのような要素があります。そこに若干のチョークの様なかおりが感じられる。
複雑性があるものの軽やかな印象で、飲み疲れしなさそう。
【味わい】
辛口。平均以上のややシャープな酸があって、他の要素と比較するとその存在感は強い。アルコールは少し低い様に感じる。香りを取った際よりもミネラルの要素が強く感じられて、グレープフルーツの皮の様な苦味を伴う。軽やかな味わいに仕上がっており若くして楽しめるスタイルかと思える。
【事後の感想】
Arneisという品種は本来酸が低いことが問題になりやすい品種です。私のテイスティングが問題なのか、これに反して酸が高いと判断してしまいました。おそらくこのワインが何かのブラインドで出たとしたら、おそらく酸は低いとした方が無難なのだと思います。そこまで分かることはないと思いますが。
体調の問題なのか、後日に再度飲んだ際にはシュールリーから生じる香り（ビスケット、吟醸香）が強烈に感じられる。また全体的な香りの性格も当初はトポピカルな要素があり、あとでは落ち着いた印象に変わっていた。この辺はまだよく理由がわからない。
[Appearance]
The wine is pale lemon with niticeable high clarity thus I assumed that this wine has a high level of acidity. No bubbles seen in the glass. To me its viscosity seems slightly higher than that of a wine of the same color intensity.
[Aroma]
The intensity of aromas found is not very pronouncedly high. It is rather smooth and moderate. This wine is appearantly not made of an aromatic variety. The principle aromatic characters are refreshing freen fruits(apple, gooseberry) and also fresh herbs such as mint and thyme. There is a bit of mineral hint of chalk.
Although there is a moderate level of complexity, the overall impression is light and smooth. This is not a wine that makes me tire even after having some glasses of it.
[Palate]
This is dry. It has quantitatively medium+ acidity whose nature is slightly sharp. The high acidity stands out if compared to strengths of other flavour components found in this wine. I assume this is bit low in alcoholic content. Mineral note of grapefruit peel is more clearly felt than when I checked the aromatic characteristic. This is smooth and friendly wine that can be enjoyed young without waiting for further aging.
[After blind tasting]
Roero Arneis is usually made as single varietal white. The variety is, in clear contrast to my tasting note, known to generally have only limited amounts of acid.
