A fresh, stylish white from Piedmont that shows just how exciting Arneis can be. Ceretto’s Blangé is a benchmark for the varietal—vibrant, aromatic, and refreshingly modern, all while staying true to its Italian roots.
Taste
Fragrant notes of white peach, green apple, and citrus blossom lead the nose, followed by a palate of crisp orchard fruit, lemon zest, and a hint of almond. Light-bodied yet expressive, with clean minerality and a subtle, creamy texture on the finish.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Ceretto is one of Piedmont’s most iconic and forward-thinking estates, known for their elegant Barolos and Barbarescos as well as their work elevating lesser-known varietals like Arneis. The Blangé bottling was introduced in the 1980s as a fresh take on this historic grape, helping revive its reputation in the region. Today, Ceretto farms organically and focuses on expressing the purity and precision of the Langhe terroir.
Why We Love It
This wine is proof that Arneis deserves a spot at the table. It’s lively, versatile, and offers something a little different for fans of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Blangé is a go-to for seafood nights, picnic lunches, or just sipping in good company.
