Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Arione 2017

The 2017 Barolo Arione is so incredibly distinctive. Heady, savoury, earthy, lavender and mineral accents wrap around a core of dark Nebbiolo fruit in a potent, muscular Serralunga that speaks with gravitas and authority. 

There is something mysterious about Arione, which is not easily understood but is very much at the heart of its personality. The depth, presence and tannic clout are Serralunga at its best. I can't wait to check in on the 2017 in another few years or decades.
