If there’s a Barolo producer that makes collectors go misty-eyed, it’s Giacomo Conterno—and Arione is the cru that’s fast becoming a legend in its own right. Sourced from a south-facing slope next to Francia, this bottling shows all the precision, power, and age-worthy structure you’d expect from Conterno—just with its own darker, moodier edge.

The 2020 is already showing remarkable clarity: deep red fruit, savory herbs, iron, tar, roses—all the Barolo touchpoints, but dialed in with laser focus. There’s massive structure here, but also polish. And in magnum? It’s basically built for future generations.

Whether you’re laying it down for 20+ years or opening it for a very special night, this is more than just a Barolo—it’s a snapshot of one of Italy’s greatest winemakers at full stride.

More about Giacomo Conterno

The Piedmont legend. Giovanni Conterno opened a tavern in 1908, made Barolo for it, and the first Riserva changed everything. His son Giacomo took over in 1934, and the estate's been making world-class Nebbiolo ever since. Monfortino Riserva is aged seven years minimum in huge botti—old school done perfectly.
