This is what good wine from the Arneis grape tastes like

The Arneis grape produces soft white wines with a pleasant aroma of peach and almond. They have a full, rounded flavor of juicy pear, without being overly pronounced. These are fine Italian food wines.

Arneis is found primarily in Piedmont, Italy. Traditionally, some Arneis juice was added to the robust Barolo to soften it somewhat. This is rarely done anymore. And because of that, Arneis almost disappeared.

Until the 1980s, a few northern Italian winemakers wondered what would happen if they bottled nothing but Arneis juice. Since then, its popularity has been growing rapidly. Especially in the hills of Roero, where Arneis even has its own DOC Roero Arneis. Occasionally, it is aged in wooden barrels, but more often, it is aged in steel.
