Dit is Roberto Conterno's nieuwste aanwinst in Barolo. Deze wijngaard is de meest zuidelijke van Serralunga, net onder Francia en levert de volste, krachtigste Barolo van de drie wijngaarden van Roberto. Een derde van de opbrengst werd trouwens gebruikt voor zijn topwijn Monfortino. We zijn bijzonder trots u deze in exclusiviteit te kunnen aanbieden!

Vinous (Antonio Galloni): " The 2018 Barolo Arione is an imposing wine. It's presence alone is impossible to miss. Arione is a wine that demands attention. There is something wild and exotic - almost animalistic - about the Arione and the way it asserts itself. Time in the glass brings out scents of sage, menthol, white pepper and orange peel. A generous kick of Serralunga acidity and tannin punctuates the finish. It's still early days for Roberto Conterno's Barolo from Arione. I can't wait to see how this ages." 95/100

Wine Advocate (Monica Larner): "Tasted from barrel, the 2018 Barolo Arione still has another year in botte and time in bottle before its commercial release. However, the wine shows a distinct personality that is immediately gentle and open-knit despite its very young age. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, there is ethereal softness here, but this characterization is relative considering the ample power and depth always associated with this site. It feels like this 2018 vintage is still warming up and is slowly putting on volume and weight. Its metamorphosis is far from complete. However, what you can read into the wine now is the quality of its fruit and its classic Nebbiolo aromas of wild berry, pressed violet, rust and blood orange." 94-96/100
