Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione 2022

Even in the heat of 2022, Arione holds true to its character, graphite, sage, dried herbs, menthol and white pepper over a deeply concentrated core of dark fruit. The mid-palate is rich and layered, with the site's signature mineral and savory tension running through to a long, sustained finish. Tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the structure here points clearly toward a serious future. Drink 2030–2045.
