Giacomo Conterno’s 2021 “Arione” Barolo is a bold and finely chiseled expression from Serralunga d’Alba, combining muscular structure with aromatic lift. The nose reveals dark cherry, violet, and blood orange, layered with notes of graphite, tar, and crushed herbs. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity frame a core of deep red fruit and mineral tension, leading to a long, resonant finish. A powerful, age-worthy Barolo with elegance and definition.
