2018 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione (1.5L)

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

95V

95WS

The 2018 Barolo Arione is an imposing wine. It's presence alone is impossible to miss. Arione is a wine that demands attention. There is something wild and exotic - almost animalistic - about the Arione and the way it asserts itself. Time in the glass brings out scents of sage, menthol, white pepper and orange peel. A generous kick of Serralunga acidity and tannin punctuates the finish. It's still early days for Roberto Conterno's Barolo from Arione. I can't wait to see how this ages.

95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Oct 2022)

Perfumed and suave, this red boasts cherry, strawberry, sandalwood, floral and mint aromas and flavors. This one is all about finesse and harmony, with its precision and balance providing a sense of seamlessness—even at this youthful stage. The fruit, spice and savory elements linger on the aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2043. From Italy.
