Arietta is Fritz and Caren Hatton's name for wines born of a passion for music. Fritz has over 3 decades of experience in the fine and rare wine business and is America's foremost wine auctioneer. The name Arietta, meaning short aria or art song, expresses their belief that all great wines must sing. Both wine and song should take flight, in the course of which the qualities of balance, vibrancy, depth, overtones, and complexity resonate and give us a sense of exaltation.

80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon. According to Arietta: The goal of the winemaking is to marry a vibrant entry to a long and complex finish. This blended Bordeaux-style white wine gushes with vibrant fruit and floral aromas, from orange blossom to lemon rind and pineapple. It is at once incredibly fresh and intensely flavourful. 6x750ml $96.38 P
