Freaky Friday Case (Italian Whites)

For the first time ever, we have Freaky Friday cases. Here’s how this one works – you get 11 bottles of the Giovanni Almondo’s super pure ‘Vigne Sparse’ Arneis and we will upgrade the 12th bottle automatically into the Almondo Bricco Delle Ciliegie. The Vigne Sparse is a huge hit throughout the NYC Michelin set as the sandy and clay vineyards used to make this racy number impart so much purity and precision. The Bricco delle Ciliegie is a single-vineyard marvel. It has been affectionately referred to as ‘White Barolo’ by its peers and is considered by many to be one of the greatest white wines in all of Italy.

Original price was: $365.00.Current price is: $255.00.

For generations, the Almondo family has tended vines of Arneis, the noble white variety of Piedmont. Their six hectares are at elevation, averaging 350 meters.  Ask anyone who lives in this area, they will tell you who makes the best white wines in Piedmont.

The old vines of the single vineyard, Bricco delle Ciliegie, are rooted in sand that covers an old ocean bed and the production is really tiny. They’re both beautiful, pure, mineral-driven white wines. The Arneis Vigne Sparse sees zero oak and is a high-toned machine that Del Posto, Marea and Danny Meyer’s restaurants have carried for years. If you’re not drinking Almondo Arneis, you gotta change that ASAP!
