The 2021 Barolo Arione captures the distinctive character of this southern Serralunga cru, delivering aromas of ripe red cherry, rose petal, violets, and hints of blood orange, layered with notes of tobacco, iron, and underbrush. On the palate, it is precise and powerful, with firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a mineral-driven backbone. The finish is expansive and persistent, promising outstanding cellar potential.
Founded in 1908, Giacomo Conterno is a cornerstone of traditional Barolo, renowned worldwide for producing wines of extraordinary purity, longevity, and terroir expression. Now led by Roberto Conterno, the estate meticulously tends to prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, including the legendary Francia, Arione, and Monfortino vineyards. Conterno’s philosophy revolves around low yields, late harvests, and extended macerations, crafting Barolo with profound structure and an unmistakable sense of place. These wines are benchmarks of Nebbiolo, celebrated for their depth, complexity, and remarkable ability to evolve over decades.
