About the Vineyard
With the help of Professor Eynard, Italo Stupino began researching with 20 different clones of what local farmers called "Arneis." The experimentation started in Italo’s Montebertotto vineyard and after 3 years, in 1981, the clones that gave the best results were selected and identified as CN15, CN19 and CN32.
Today, 1000 hectares of this grape are planted in Piemonte. 80% of those vineyards are still planted with the original clones selected at Montebertotto making Italo Stupino the de facto
Godfather of Arneis!
