Ben Turnò means “bentornato” (or “welcome back”) in the Piedmontese dialect and refers to two very significant events in the winery’s (and Ezio Cocito’s personal) story: the reacquisition of this portion of vineyard previously leased to another vintner and the return of Ezio Cocito’s only daughter from a long period abroad. Intense and captivating, this is an extremely aromatic expression of Arneis, with generous aromas of baked apricots, honey and Golden Delicious apples. Some of the luster typical of the Arneis variety comes through on the palate, while the Sylvaner and Chardonnay add a lively peach-like fruitiness contrasted by subtle herbal notes and intriguing minerality. Produced from old vines, this is a unique and enchanting wine with exceptional appeal, a new approach to Arneis.
