Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Arione, 2018 (1.5L)
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Barolo Arione, from the esteemed Giacomo Conterno, offers a powerful expression of Nebbiolo, with the 2018 vintage showing both depth and refinement. The wine encapsulates the character of its terroir, balancing intense fruit, floral nuances, and earthy complexity.
The nose greets with dark berries—black cherry and blackberry—complemented by hints of rose and violet, adding a delicate floral layer. Subtle earthy notes of tobacco and leather emerge, adding complexity to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins that provide depth while maintaining elegance. The acidity is bright and refreshing, supporting the fruit and allowing the layers of flavor to unfold. The finish is long, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earth, and a touch of spice.
This Barolo is perfect for pairing with rich dishes like roasted meats, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses. While it is enjoyable now, the structure and complexity suggest it will continue to evolve beautifully with time in the cellar, offering even more layers of character as it matures.
