2021 Giacomo Conterno Arione Barolo
The Barolo Arione from the legendary Giacomo Conterno is a wine of profound power and aristocratic finesse, sourced from the Arione vineyard, now wholly owned by the estate. The 2021 vintage is heralded as one of exquisite balance and structure. This Barolo reveals an intense, complex bouquet of dark cherry, dried rose petals, mint, licorice, and iron-tinged minerality. On the palate, it is muscular and dense, framed by firm, chiseled tannins and brilliant acidity, leading to a long, resonating finish. This is a monumental, age-worthy wine that requires at least a decade in the cellar.
