Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione 2015

Wild cherry and licorice dominate, backed by cedar, pine and crushed herbs that build with gorgeous intensity. This inaugural Arione bottling shows the unmistakable depth of great Nebbiolo, revealing layers that shift and evolve in the glass. Serralunga's iron grip of tannin demands patience. The underlying fruit concentration and mineral drive suggest this will reward decades of aging.
