Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione 2021 (1.5L)

Adjacent to Francia but with its own elegant voice, Arione springs from Serralunga d'Alba's limestone-clay soils to deliver precise, terroir-driven Nebbiolo. Hand-harvested and aged in large Slavonian oak, the 2021 balances sage, rose petal, mint, and orange peel with nearly seamless tannins. The result is serious yet approachable—floral and savory accents punctuate a finish that speaks to Conterno's classical pedigree. This 1.5-liter format captures the energy and structure beautifully.
