A classic expression of Arneis, made at Ca' du Rabaja by crazed genius Renzo Alutto and renowned oenologist Dante Scaglione. Fermented in stainless steel the wine is as irrepressible as Renzo himself - exploding with aromas and flavours of peach, citrus and almond, with great acidity and a firm backbone of minerality.

 

Lorenzo "Renzo" Alutto

 

 Liquid Art's portfolio is an embarrassment of riches, but there could never be a more perfect expression of the ideals of "People, Place and Time" than Lorenzo Alutto. Having inherited a vigneto that Renato Ratti refers to as "the best  in Barbaresco", Renzo the human dynamo has thrown himself into running it with unbridled enthusiasm, incessantly talking a mile a minute oblivious as to whether anyone is listening, and madly and endearingly charging forward in all directions. His wines explode with energy and vitality. How could it be otherwise?
