James Suckling
Review Date: 01/2026Multilayered yet overt and generous, showing dried violets, potpourri, licorice, cherry pits and pomegranate. Full-bodied and almost salty, with firm, dusty tannins, crisp acidity and a tight yet balanced finish due to great fruit concentration. Warming yet harmonious. October 2026 release. Drink then or hold. (AF)

Notes
The 2022 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione in magnum (1.5L) is a powerful, authoritative expression of one of Serralunga d'Alba's most prestigious south-facing crus. It offers a profile of macerated cherries, graphite, and wild herbs, underpinned by the "gravitas" and dense, savory structure typical of Arione’s limestone soils. While the 2022 vintage provided a generous core of ripe fruit, the wine remains defined by its firm, architectural tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Bottled in a magnum, this wine is built for multi-decade aging and is expected to reach its full secondary complexity starting around 2035.
