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.

A powerful, brooding wine, the 2018 Barolo Arione is beguiling and deep, with layers of complexity that gradually unfurl with time in the glass. Kirsch, mint, rose petal, tobacco, licorice, sage and dried herbs all develop with some air. Next to the Francia, which is its neighbor, the Arione has a darker more earthy profile.
