Vinicola Arno was not on our radar when we arrived in the Langhe region, but after hearing a few comments about this winery and vineyard in Asti we decided to make the 45 minute trip to visit. It is one of the best decisions we could have made. Vinicola Arno is beautiful and the people their may be the nicest and most welcoming we have ever met in Italy. Michael Arno could not have been nicer and Alice, who hosted our visit was a one of a kind. Their passion for the region and their work is completely genuine and absolutely infectious. Of course, the quality of the wines is the final measure and each of the wines we tried, and subsequently purchased, matched experience. We had no idea what to expect from this producers wines, but are now fans of Vinicola Arno and look forward to visiting again.
UPDATE: We visited Vincola Arno for a second time in two years and it was at least as enjoyable as it was the first time. We brought additional family with us this time and they fell in love with the wines, the atmosphere, and our host, Alice. If we return to the region a third time, we will also return to Vincola...
